Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Beta Tua (ranked 21883 p4p, 5808 weight class) and Riley Knox (ranked 658 p4p, 628 weight class). Knox is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz). 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.
