Art of War 13 is set to take place tonight at the Te Atatu Peninsula Comminity Centre in Auckland,.

The main event promises mayhem, as Mandela Ale faces Hayden Todd in an "extreme Muay Thai" matchup, to be contested with 4oz MMA gloves instead of traditional boxing gloves.

Mandela Ale is coming off a close decision loss to Matt Sutherland at King of Kings 9, to fight two weeks later against Hayden Todd, a man known for his intensity and violence in the ring.

The smaller gloves not only provide less defence, they allow more grabbing with the hands, which under the Muay Thai grappling rules, adds another dimension to an already exciting match-up.

Also on the card will be Swade Wallace from Assains Muay Thai versus James Vake from City Kickboxing. 

Vili 'Tangerous' Tutone and Riine Le Comte are two big boys that can bang!

Both men are coming off stoppage victories and will be looking to make Friday the 13th of a nightmare for one another.

RJ Pereira will have his first fight under the City Lee Gar banner on the Art of War 13 where he faces Jesse Broughton of Assassins Muay Thai, Wanganui.

Both men are more than capable of great violence and promise an exciting matchup not to be missed.

Jon 'Hellraiser' Anderson is heading up from Wellington to face the up-and-coming, talented Auckland fighter, Mikey 'Magic' Helg on the Art of War 13.

Mandela Ale will also go head-to-head with Hayden Todd tonight.

Doors are open at 6.30pm, with the first fight scheduled for 7.30pm.
