Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Bad Girl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Love Bug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Girl kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bad Girl. Bug has chosen Big Ballin with My Homies 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.
