Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Christ Benoit (ranked 2598 p4p, 7279 weight class) and Samak Tiyapairat (ranked 356 p4p, 800 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benoit might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amazing Grace. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tiyapairat's choice of entrance music: Ram Muay. Christ Benoit could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Samak Tiyapairat's chin.
