PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Tosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Penagos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tosh comes to the cage accompanied by Stepping Razor. Penagos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Somebody Gonna Get Their Ass Whooped!. 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.
