Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Walter Sobchak (ranked 21552 p4p, 733 weight class) and William Volkov (ranked 4593 p4p, 452 weight class). Sobchak kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In). The crowd seem to be enjoying Volkov's choice of entrance music: Parkway Drive - Dark Days. Walter Sobchak has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
