Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Humberto Manuel Arboleda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ossilus Chiarmanda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arboleda's entrance music is ASTAROTH - GUERRA DE METAL. A fine choice. Chiarmanda has chosen Long live my homeland, my free Tajikistan! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
