Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Craven Moorehead (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sakke Somali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Somali's choice of entrance music: Sakke - Oonhan Suomalainen. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sakke Somali was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sher Shah Suri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank McCoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suri kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bohemia - Kali Denali . McCoy has chosen Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip- Get Better as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
