Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Junior Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nkosiyapha Ngwabeni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Junior Sanchez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.5lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
