Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Mieczyslaw Okninski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zoey Malone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malone is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash. Zoey Malone struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Zoey Malone has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
