Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Victor Sharp (ranked 664 p4p, 100 weight class) and John Brophy (ranked 6724 p4p, 685 weight class). Sharp's entrance music is Immortal Technique-Cause Of Death. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Brophy's choice of entrance music: Last Caress - Metallica. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
