Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Alekzandr Borikav (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stoney McCaned (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Borikav might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pelican - Bliss in Concrete. McCaned has chosen Alborosie - Herbalist 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.
