Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Mateusz Biernat (ranked 2211 p4p, 244 weight class) and Walter Flanagan (ranked 2743 p4p, 291 weight class). Biernat's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ballroom Blitz. Flanagan has chosen The Wizard as his entrance music. Mateusz Biernat had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. 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.
