Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Truck The Icepick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karen Darabedyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Icepick comes to the ring accompanied by Hollywood Undead - Tear It UP. Darabedyan has chosen KDB Highlights as his entrance music. Truck The Icepick had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Ebrahim Azhari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gde Vkaragande (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Azhari comes to the ring accompanied by Jedi Mind Tricks - Blood in Blood out. Vkaragande is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Morbid Angel - God of Emptiness. Ebrahim Azhari had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.7lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
