Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Tommy Lee (ranked 18096 p4p, 21789 weight class) and Juhjartus Khairannus (ranked 659 p4p, 635 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kickstart My Heart. 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.
