Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Victor Sharp (ranked 541 p4p, 79 weight class) and Kevin Mayweather (ranked 15858 p4p, 840 weight class). Sharp's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Immortal Technique-Cause Of Death. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
