Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Melankomas Caria (ranked 3941 p4p, 473 weight class) and Name Less (ranked 1537 p4p, 215 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Caria might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz). 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.

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Renato Gracie (ranked 2996 p4p, 291 weight class) and Miyamoto Musashi (ranked 2970 p4p, 289 weight class). Gracie comes to the ring accompanied by Hail To The King by Avenged Sevenfold. Musashi has chosen Kodō (鼓童)_Shake as his entrance music. 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.
