Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Kongchai Phetboonme (ranked 540 p4p, 24178 weight class) and Makunouchi Ippo (ranked 68 p4p, 660 weight class). Phetboonme comes to the ring accompanied by Iron Man. Ippo has chosen Indestructible as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nero La Croix (ranked 19188 p4p, 4211 weight class) and George Peterson (ranked 210 p4p, 75 weight class). La Croix kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ca Plane Pour Moi. Peterson has chosen XXXTENTACION - FUXK (Feat. Ski Mask as his entrance music. 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 George Peterson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
