Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Pinero Chai (ranked 593 p4p, 21183 weight class) and Marco Salamanca (ranked 83 p4p, 466 weight class). Chai's entrance music is Styles P - Off The Ghost. A fine choice. Salamanca has chosen Superstar Cypress Hill as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Leon Bowser (ranked 5105 p4p, 4820 weight class) and Cheyenne Little Dove (ranked 317 p4p, 306 weight class). Bowser kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is House Of Pain - Jump Around. 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 Cheyenne Little Dove was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
