Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Petr Uvehr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saenchai Saenchai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uvehr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Schattenlauf. Saenchai Saenchai is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
