Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Abel Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Orville Redenbacher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Speed's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Limp Bizkit / Break Stuff. Redenbacher comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Danger Zone kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
