Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Helix Cabrera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pernell Whitaker Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cabrera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Imperitum. Helix Cabrera could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Pernell Whitaker Jr's chin.
