Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Ryan Locke (ranked 3790 p4p, 2934 weight class) and Sortek Redfist (ranked 546 p4p, 465 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Locke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eye Of The Tiger (Peter Griffin Cover). Redfist comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Earl Sweatshirt-Chum kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
