Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Oby dGreat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Milovan Cirkovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). dGreat comes into the arena with BLIND by KoRn blaring out of the sound system. Cirkovic has chosen Five Finger Death Punch - 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!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Tommy Grunge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alekzandr Borikav (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grunge kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Temple of the Dog - Say Hello To Heaven. Borikav comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pelican - Bliss in Concrete kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
