Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Tonaka Watawaka (ranked 3587 p4p, 358 weight class) and Hamdi Shabani (ranked 24150 p4p, 599 weight class). Watawaka's entrance music is Native American Flute & Drums. A fine choice. Shabani has chosen Hammer Time by Lecrae (ft. 1K. Phew) as his entrance music. 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 Hamdi Shabani was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
