Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ethan Irwin (ranked 1205 p4p, 146 weight class) and Nik Snow (ranked 797 p4p, 100 weight class). 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?
