Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Gordon Masten (ranked 22273 p4p, 661 weight class) and Ibrahim Cuntmara (ranked 372 p4p, 62 weight class). Cuntmara is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: $$ Hoes mad $$. 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 heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Bigi Boi Chai (ranked 676 p4p, 64 weight class) and Herbert Kreischer (ranked 74 p4p, 8 weight class). Chai's entrance music is Dirt. A fine choice. Kreischer has chosen Bert Learns To Hip-Hop Dance To Post Malone 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?
