Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Remy Bose (ranked 23158 p4p, 6018 weight class) and Luis Sanchez (ranked 514 p4p, 471 weight class). Bose's entrance music is We paid by 42 Doug . A fine choice. Sanchez has chosen Kodak Black - Super Gremlin as his entrance music. Remy Bose had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
