Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Daniel Silvestre (ranked 3107 p4p, 311 weight class) and 4 Spar (ranked 9850 p4p, 591 weight class). Silvestre kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is El Chapo - The Game feat Skrillex. 4 Spar 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!

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Andrei Dunas (ranked 2971 p4p, 303 weight class) and Morgan Wade (ranked 3413 p4p, 339 weight class).

Luckily Andrei Dunas seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
