Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Terry Johnson (ranked 2245 p4p, 54 weight class) and Bobby McBarz (ranked 3053 p4p, 72 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hans Zimmer - The Last Samurai Theme. McBarz has chosen 50 Cent - In da club as his entrance music. Bobby McBarz has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
