Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Jose Rizal (ranked 5936 p4p, 485 weight class) and Gerrie Schutte (ranked 6126 p4p, 495 weight class). Rizal kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Noypi by Bamboo.
