Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Liam McRae (ranked 3169 p4p, 459 weight class) and Marvin Vettori (ranked 9940 p4p, 886 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McRae might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Justin Bieber ft. Ariana Grande - Let Me Think Bout You. Vettori has chosen Mortal Kombat as his entrance music. Liam McRae has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
