Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between DJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Pointek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penn comes into the arena with Israel Kamakawiwo’ole blaring out of the sound system. Pointek is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sevendust - Enemy. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
