Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Johnny Gat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Skagul Toste (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gat might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Danza Kuduro . 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.
