Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Didi Aguiar (ranked 4936 p4p, 5980 weight class) and Tom Louis (ranked 548 p4p, 609 weight class). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tom Louis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Jason Wysocki (ranked 6188 p4p, 6136 weight class) and Tang Maul (ranked 477 p4p, 472 weight class). Wysocki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Joe Exotic Country Music "Here Kitty Kitty". I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tang Maul was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
