Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Frank Nicolosi (ranked 3523 p4p, 134 weight class) and Kusal Perera (ranked 21752 p4p, 154 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nicolosi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to A Fistful Of Dollars by Ennio Morricone. 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.
