Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rogerio Cafu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pedro St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cafu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No way out. The crowd seem to be enjoying St Pierre's choice of entrance music: The Wicked End - Avenged Sevenfold. Pedro St Pierre has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
