Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Charles Cooper (ranked 7758 p4p, 645 weight class) and Pedro Scherer (ranked 23544 p4p, 633 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cooper might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to s.mouse - slap my elbow. Pedro Scherer will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
