Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brayden Point (ranked 71 p4p, 7 weight class) and Pentti Pentele (ranked 164 p4p, 22 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Point might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Roots Reggae Music. Pentele has chosen Dreams of Retribution as his entrance music. Brayden Point has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
