Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Iaspero Yalixqua (ranked 3986 p4p, 23538 weight class) and Kalicius Yamamotica (ranked 478 p4p, 751 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yalixqua might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stop This Flame. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
