PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin Penn (ranked 1044 p4p, 2401 weight class) and Misak Grigorian (ranked 145 p4p, 308 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Penn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The End. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
