Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Musa Keita (ranked 4191 p4p, 4336 weight class) and Ezequiel Campos (ranked 443 p4p, 455 weight class). Campos has chosen Fumafu as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Luis De Teixiera (ranked 4530 p4p, 4335 weight class) and Russell Reed (ranked 476 p4p, 454 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
