Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Puna Soriano (ranked 4939 p4p, 4942 weight class) and Rodri Yairguez (ranked 215 p4p, 212 weight class). Soriano kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Highwayman- The Highwaymen. Yairguez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: El Corrido De Chihuahua - Los Rieleros Del Norte. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
