Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Scott Columbus (ranked 16600 p4p, 4036 weight class) and Stipe Velasquez (ranked 221 p4p, 62 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Columbus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blood Of The Kings. Velasquez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Gaining Momentum by MC Hammer. 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?
