Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Pinero Chai (ranked 691 p4p, 334 weight class) and Kenny Smith (ranked 87 p4p, 51 weight class). Chai's entrance music is Styles P - Off The Ghost. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Smith's choice of entrance music: IS THIS LOVE. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
