Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Pedro Gomez (ranked 2321 p4p, 1375 weight class) and Ryan Anderson (ranked 163 p4p, 105 weight class). Gomez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hotel California (Spanish Mix). Anderson has chosen Chase the bag (King Von) as his entrance music. 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 Nikolai Magomedov (ranked 22193 p4p, 2609 weight class) and Russell Northrop (ranked 294 p4p, 102 weight class). Northrop has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Nikolai Magomedov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
