Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Benjamin Berkley (ranked 6657 p4p, 2824 weight class) and Little Bastard (ranked 237 p4p, 155 weight class). Berkley's entrance music is X. A fine choice. Bastard has chosen Side to Side 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.
