Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Blithering Idiot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Idiot's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Non-Phixion: Black Helicopters. Diaz has chosen A Day To Remember - The Downfall of Us All 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.
