Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Iaspero Yalixqua (ranked 2507 p4p, 3255 weight class) and Derek Patterson (ranked 303 p4p, 361 weight class). Yalixqua comes to the cage accompanied by Stop This Flame. Patterson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm So High. Nashville Pussy. Derek Patterson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
