Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Gaizka Elizondo (ranked 5021 p4p, 431 weight class) and Tom Baker (ranked 4323 p4p, 403 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Elizondo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Peewee Longway & Money Man - Ooowwweee. Baker is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Steve Blackman WWE theme. Gaizka Elizondo has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Pope Drunkizkus (ranked 1181 p4p, 162 weight class) and Carlotos Spiteri (ranked 3924 p4p, 407 weight class). Drunkizkus's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sada Baby - SkubaHoodBlocKlub Feat BlocBoy JB, And HoodRich Pablo Juan. Spiteri has chosen Day to day basis as his entrance music. Pope Drunkizkus had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
