Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Joe Casey (ranked 2914 p4p, 2064 weight class) and Seemah Feet (ranked 417 p4p, 312 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Casey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's Nothing To Me - Sanford Clark. Feet has chosen Footsteps (Go Higher) as his entrance music. Seemah Feet has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Joe Casey's chin.
