Main event

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Lambert George (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Henson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). George's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ca fait mal. Henson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I Surrender. 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?
