Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Piger Whok (ranked 21489 p4p, 2416 weight class) and Pedro Gomez (ranked 377 p4p, 206 weight class). Whok kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is King of Kings - Motorhead. Gomez has chosen Hotel California (Spanish Mix) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Marco Salamanca (ranked 21481 p4p, 3883 weight class) and Michael Venom (ranked 481 p4p, 374 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Salamanca might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Superstar Cypress Hill. 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.
