Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Humberto Manuel Arboleda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ebrahim Azhari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arboleda comes into the arena with ASTAROTH - GUERRA DE METAL blaring out of the sound system. Azhari comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Jedi Mind Tricks - Blood in Blood out kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
