Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Hans Schultz (ranked 1371 p4p, 22105 weight class) and Henri De Lagardere (ranked 85 p4p, 351 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Schultz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Love Bites. 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.
