Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Hank McCoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirko McCracken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McCoy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip- Get Better . Mirko McCracken will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
