Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Bun Chantha (ranked 4160 p4p, 469 weight class) and The Wanderer Harbard (ranked 20247 p4p, 663 weight class). Chantha's entrance music is WORDS BOXIN. A fine choice. On his way into the ring it seems that Bun Chantha has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bun Chantha seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Lambert George (ranked 16862 p4p, 497 weight class) and Makunouchi Ippo (ranked 13344 p4p, 476 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think George might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ca fait mal. Ippo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Indestructible. 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.
