Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Dwan Diego (ranked 15507 p4p, 587 weight class) and Dennis Fischer (ranked 401 p4p, 57 weight class). Diego's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jiu Jitsu. 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 super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jacques Durand (ranked 18561 p4p, 91 weight class) and Nero La Croix (ranked 19163 p4p, 206 weight class). Durand's entrance music is Kaaris - S.E.V.R.A.N.. A fine choice. La Croix has chosen Ca Plane Pour Moi as his entrance music.
