Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Humberto Manuel Arboleda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eobard Thawne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Arboleda might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ASTAROTH - GUERRA DE METAL. Thawne is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bodies - Drowning Pool. Eobard Thawne told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
