Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between John Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nieky Paauwers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Another One Bites the Dust. Paauwers is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Eminem – Guts Over Fear (ft. Sia). 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.
