Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Heff Rondavic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penn has chosen big pimpin Jay-Z as his entrance music. Heff Rondavic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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 is staring across the ring at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
