Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Kung Fu Master (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zander McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Master kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shaolin Monastic chanting. McGuire comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hall of Fame ft. will.i.am kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
