Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Murat Idrisov Ii (ranked 24907 p4p, 2674 weight class) and John Thunder (ranked 626 p4p, 284 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Watari Kan (ranked 20359 p4p, 21012 weight class) and Berto Kin (ranked 781 p4p, 706 weight class). Watari Kan looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
