Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Israel Adesanya (ranked 2079 p4p, 4253 weight class) and Holden Easterly (ranked 243 p4p, 427 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nikolai Magomedov (ranked 21821 p4p, 1245 weight class) and Hans Schultz (ranked 296 p4p, 77 weight class). Schultz has chosen Love Bites as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Hans Schultz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
