Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ross Buchanan (ranked 22746 p4p, 4155 weight class) and Luis Abinader (ranked 481 p4p, 372 weight class). Buchanan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Roy Buchanan's Train Blues. 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.
