Taurus's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Country Boy - Aaron Lewis. Kanaani is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But A G Thang. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Hans Schultz (ranked 1131 p4p, 22655 weight class) and Boban Turnik (ranked 67 p4p, 363 weight class). Schultz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Love Bites. Hans Schultz is staring across the ring at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
