Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Ping Lee (ranked 2825 p4p, 18104 weight class) and Silva Scorpion (ranked 176 p4p, 332 weight class). Scorpion is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz). 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.
