Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joe Peterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Travis Barker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Peterson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stemm - Face the Pain. 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?
