PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nuclear Penguin (ranked 2060 p4p, 2358 weight class) and Grigoriy Petrov (ranked 247 p4p, 275 weight class). Penguin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mardy Bum. 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?
