Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Cory McDonnell (ranked 19585 p4p, 669 weight class) and Anthony Gonzalez (ranked 3420 p4p, 361 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McDonnell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jorge Quintero - 300 Violin Orchestra. Anthony Gonzalez told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
