Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Hank McCoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Balthasar Oosteroom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McCoy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip- Get Better . 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.
