Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Percy Po Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grover Dowiyogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dowiyogo has chosen another life - kano as his entrance music. 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 Grover Dowiyogo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Roberto Insigne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Augustus Belmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Insigne kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Outlawz - Gatz Up. 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.
