Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Jet Tila (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clam Water (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jet Tila had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Jet Tila has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between James McCarthy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramon Dekkers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James McCarthy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. James McCarthy has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
