Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Naughtius Maximus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahmad Massoud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Massoud has chosen Kulobi as his entrance music. 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.
