Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Ayumu Hirohito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Cullen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hirohito might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Vapors - I think I'm turning Japanese. Cullen has chosen Breaking Fangs 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.
