Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Luis Sanchez (ranked 6093 p4p, 22334 weight class) and Alejandro Sepulveda (ranked 452 p4p, 496 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sanchez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kodak Black - Super Gremlin. Sepulveda has chosen Lady Gaga - Alejandro as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
