Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Rafael Benedetti (ranked 994 p4p, 1898 weight class) and Pavel Sekera (ranked 124 p4p, 226 weight class). Sekera comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bleed it out kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Bruno Berinjela (ranked 24261 p4p, 3754 weight class) and Nicolas Djotodia (ranked 506 p4p, 377 weight class). Berinjela's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, “Yoda” by Weird Al. Djotodia has chosen Mass Appeal by Gang Starr as his entrance music. 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.
