Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Humberto Manuel Arboleda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bravo Bravo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arboleda comes to the ring accompanied by ASTAROTH - GUERRA DE METAL. Bravo has chosen Aces High 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 Bravo Bravo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
