Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ebrahim Azhari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregory Jules (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Azhari kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jedi Mind Tricks - Blood in Blood out. Gregory Jules struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
