Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Mitchell Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Everything Zen- Bush. Hopkins is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cake - I will survive. 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.
