Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Bruno Berinjela (ranked 24188 p4p, 2683 weight class) and Russell Northrop (ranked 578 p4p, 109 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Berinjela might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to “Yoda” by Weird Al. Bruno Berinjela has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
