Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Barros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chembakwu Azuibike (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barros might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Carmina burana. Chembakwu Azuibike will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
