Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Oswaldorf Magnavox (ranked 18579 p4p, 728 weight class) and Alistair Spong (ranked 5161 p4p, 503 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Magnavox might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stormzy - Shut Up. The crowd seem to be enjoying Spong's choice of entrance music: 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) . 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.
