Same here. People in the heavies are going to go crazy about him wanting to fight Chuck and Wand. They probably don't know who Rick is or realize what he can do.

He was one of the best American kickboxers (6 x world champ) and held the WBC Continental Americas title in boxing. His standup is very good. In K-1 the weight issue also hurt him a lot as he was fighting guys much heavier then him. He is now fighting at 205.

Good article.

I don't know how I feel about him training at the Lion's Den though. >_>

No disrespect, but isn't he kind of old to be just making the transition to MMA now?
