Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Marty Robbins (ranked 2649 p4p, 1228 weight class) and Bill Beukeboom (ranked 365 p4p, 189 weight class). Robbins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Marty Robbins - Big Iron. 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.
