Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Cory McDonnell (ranked 19914 p4p, 616 weight class) and Wolfgang Benson (ranked 12593 p4p, 658 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McDonnell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jorge Quintero - 300 Violin Orchestra. Benson has chosen Alice Cooper - Schools Out 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.
