Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Takeru Kubota (ranked 879 p4p, 2461 weight class) and Shiny Aoki (ranked 116 p4p, 308 weight class). Kubota comes to the ring accompanied by Devilman No Uta (1972). The crowd seem to be enjoying Aoki's choice of entrance music: Big Scoob - Bitch Please Ft B - Legit , E- 40. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Shiny Aoki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
