Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Carlos Batistuta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giovanni Niccoli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Batistuta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction. Giovanni Niccoli has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
