Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Silva Scorpion (ranked 5730 p4p, 383 weight class) and Miyamoto Musashi (ranked 2701 p4p, 251 weight class). Scorpion comes to the ring accompanied by Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz). Musashi has chosen Kodō (鼓童)_Shake as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
