Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Alejandro Sepulveda (ranked 5881 p4p, 3914 weight class) and Michael Collins (ranked 422 p4p, 341 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Claudio Benedetti (ranked 2395 p4p, 1679 weight class) and Harold Zoid (ranked 299 p4p, 222 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benedetti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Atrevete te. 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.

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Elgin Turner (ranked 406 p4p, 2237 weight class) and Ryan Keenan (ranked 52 p4p, 228 weight class). Turner's entrance music is Wu-Tang Clan - Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'. A fine choice. 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.
