Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Feyd Rautha Harkonnen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Osei Tutu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harkonnen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Headstones-Heart of Darkness. 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.
