Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Tae Shik Cha (ranked 2924 p4p, 287 weight class) and Vik Vader (ranked 3802 p4p, 355 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Emancipator - When I Go. On his way into the ring it seems that Tae Shik Cha has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tae Shik Cha seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Aiden Preston (ranked 2533 p4p, 124 weight class) and Ezekyle Abaddon (ranked 2406 p4p, 113 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Preston might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fuckin Problem. Abaddon has chosen Vengeful One as his entrance music. Ezekyle Abaddon has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
