Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between John Lennon (ranked 4394 p4p, 368 weight class) and Miyamoto Musashi (ranked 3534 p4p, 311 weight class). Musashi has chosen Kodō (鼓童)_Shake as his entrance music. 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?
