Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Jose Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bernard Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torres comes to the ring accompanied by When the Shit Goes Down . I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Bernard Hopkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Marcus Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Thadani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brandao might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army. Marcus Brandao could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tom Thadani's chin.
