Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Jakub Nazoruk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorden Swift (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Swift has chosen Hail Mary - Tupac as his entrance music. Swift has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jorden Swift told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
