Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Connor MacLeod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Humberto Manuel Arboleda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacLeod kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Battle Hymn . Arboleda has chosen ASTAROTH - GUERRA DE METAL as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Humberto Manuel Arboleda told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Chuck Norris Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Digital (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Digital has chosen Wu Tang Clan - Y'all Been Warned as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
