Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sangye Tsering (ranked 3778 p4p, 25603 weight class) and Jonny Baltimore (ranked 199 p4p, 247 weight class). Tsering kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ŠŠµŠ½ ā ŃŃŠ²Š° Š¼ŠµŠ½. Baltimore has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Sangye Tsering could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jonny Baltimore's chin.
