Another Pick comes in from Mike Reilly - Team Bison: Penn vs Sanchez

Sanchez has a unique ability to make exciting fighters boring. He takes people out of their game, makes them hesitant. He is a frustrating fighter. Penn over the last few years has developed the premier skill set in the world. He also over came his early career cardio weakness. But against the night mare he will also have to tap into his patience. The fighter that loses patience in this bout will be the fighter that loses. If Penn stays in his game he will get a ref stoppage or a decision. If he loses patience Diego will make him pay.

I predict Penn will fight smart and controlled and take a 49-46 decision.
