Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ravi Vamoosh (ranked 14832 p4p, 482 weight class) and Chris Deal (ranked 2358 p4p, 248 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vamoosh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Roaring Tiger. 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?
