Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ryo Hazuki (ranked 22400 p4p, 3136 weight class) and Gordon Masten (ranked 420 p4p, 260 weight class). Ryo Hazuki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Dru Quick (ranked 21416 p4p, 22624 weight class) and Toa Mudo (ranked 225 p4p, 233 weight class). Quick kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gangster's Paradise- Coolio. Mudo has chosen Rise-Disturbed as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Dru Quick has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dru Quick seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
