Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Don Appleberry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy HugoBoss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Don Appleberry had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.1lbs, 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 really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jon Lewis St Clair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think St Clair might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ready to Die. Brandao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army. Marcus Brandao has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
