It is going to be another great learning curve for me and another step towards where I want to be?. Both fighters will head into this bout with high confidence as Shogo Sakai is coming off two knockout victories in the second and third round, while Smith is on a roll with 5 straight wins with 4 by KO.

Also on the card is local cruiserweights Josh Webb Vs Dale Ryan, English Import Darren Askew Vs Brett John Smith as well as undefeated prospect Kris George and ?Iron? Will Young.
