Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Oren Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and TJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penn has chosen DMX - Bad Boy as his entrance music. TJ Penn struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
