Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Daryl Palumbo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frulegur Wiskeber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palumbo comes to the ring accompanied by A Day To Remember- Violence. Wiskeber has chosen Michel Cleis - Hey Lady Luck (Official Music Video) as his entrance music. Daryl Palumbo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.8lbs, 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!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Skallagrimur Kveldulfsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Norman Vizcarra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kveldulfsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Moti Ragnarokum. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Antonio Laborina Lim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Laborina Lim might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Here we go. The crowd seem to be enjoying Green's choice of entrance music: Miracle - We Ain't Scared. 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.
