Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Charles Cooper (ranked 1891 p4p, 51 weight class) and Simon Udovich (ranked 5309 p4p, 174 weight class). Cooper's entrance music is s.mouse - slap my elbow. A fine choice. Udovich has chosen Godzilla Remix as his entrance music. 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.
