Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nick Lambose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Management (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lambose comes into the arena with Super Mario Song blaring out of the sound system. Management is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Walk by Pantera. 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.
