Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between BJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Battle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Battle comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Two Weeks kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! BJ Penn had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. BJ Penn could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gabriel Battle's chin.
