Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Grease St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Moti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think St Pierre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Saigon - Desperado. Moti has chosen Also Sprach Zarathustra as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
