Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Fred Bizihwaeile (ranked 6204 p4p, 23560 weight class) and Songkom Fairtex (ranked 571 p4p, 648 weight class).

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.

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Shiny Aoki (ranked 2096 p4p, 5717 weight class) and Darren Tellkins (ranked 240 p4p, 554 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aoki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Big Scoob - Bitch Please Ft B - Legit , E- 40. Tellkins is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Stunna 4 Vegas - Punch me in Pt 4. 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.
