Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Claudio Benedetti (ranked 3100 p4p, 17725 weight class) and Jacques Durand (ranked 404 p4p, 116 weight class). Benedetti's entrance music is Atrevete te. A fine choice. Durand has chosen Kaaris - S.E.V.R.A.N. as his entrance music. 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.
