Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Bardia Farrokhzad (ranked 1815 p4p, 1741 weight class) and Ryan Anderson (ranked 133 p4p, 130 weight class). Farrokhzad comes to the ring accompanied by Rastak - Hele Mali (Iranian Fisherman Folk Song). Anderson has chosen Chase the bag (King Von) as his entrance music. 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.
