Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Penagos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Rivers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penagos's entrance music is Somebody Gonna Get Their Ass Whooped!. A fine choice. Rivers has chosen Superbeast as his entrance music. 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?
