Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Justus Sheehan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lazarus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sheehan comes into the arena with Under the Dome blaring out of the sound system. Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman - Metallica. 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.
