Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Frank Naulapyssy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Naulapyssy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Raised Hammerfist. BJ Penn struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
