Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sagoya Nobonaga (ranked 4558 p4p, 103 weight class) and Wayde West (ranked 4769 p4p, 109 weight class). Nobonaga's entrance music is Kickboxer. A fine choice. West comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sober 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Nosyaj Rram (ranked 2937 p4p, 334 weight class) and Blake Wightman (ranked 3908 p4p, 434 weight class).

Wightman has chosen BFMV-You want a battle(here's a war) as his entrance music. Blake Wightman will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
