Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Jason Wysocki (ranked 5924 p4p, 468 weight class) and Ace Boogie (ranked 5904 p4p, 466 weight class). Wysocki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Joe Exotic Country Music "Here Kitty Kitty". Ace Boogie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Uriah Small (ranked 3652 p4p, 83 weight class) and Marvin Vettori (ranked 639 p4p, 11 weight class). Vettori is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Police On My Back- The Rocketz. 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.
