Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Yajson Rram (ranked 1066 p4p, 1767 weight class) and George Backman (ranked 118 p4p, 185 weight class). Rram kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Overhaul. 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 Backman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
