Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Zander McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kung Fu Master (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Master comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Shaolin Monastic chanting kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
