Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin Penn (ranked 2464 p4p, 2784 weight class) and Panagiotis Christoforou (ranked 86 p4p, 97 weight class). Penn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The End. 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?
