Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gregory St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Withers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think St Pierre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Rush. The crowd seem to be enjoying Withers's choice of entrance music: War Is My Destiny. 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?
