Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Maarten Bokhorst (ranked 2274 p4p, 108 weight class) and Takeshi Yuudai (ranked 311 p4p, 12 weight class). Bokhorst comes into the arena with Lil Wayne - Drop The World ft. Eminem blaring out of the sound system. 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 Takeshi Yuudai was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Erick Clap (ranked 3123 p4p, 284 weight class) and Ozzie Price (ranked 5627 p4p, 413 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Clap might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Burn it to the ground. Price has chosen Killer Mike - Big Beast as his entrance music. 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.
