PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tatsuya Kimura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kimura might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cautionary Warning. 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.
