Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Chol-Hyon An (ranked 4341 p4p, 121 weight class) and Mike Patton (ranked 22840 p4p, 217 weight class). An kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Aegukka (DPRK national anthem). Patton comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Imperial March (L.O.D. Rage Mix) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
