Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Helio Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luiz Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chavez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sandstorm by DJ Darude. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
