Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Josh Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juho Pennanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Robertson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to State of the union by Rise Against. Josh Robertson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Juho Pennanen's chin.
