Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Trent Denton (ranked 21559 p4p, 4684 weight class) and Adim Bulb (ranked 440 p4p, 395 weight class). Denton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Never Gonna Give You Up (2022 Remaster). Bulb has chosen Breaking Benjamin - Lights Out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
