Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Mason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mason kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Darude - Sandstorm. Lynch has chosen Suffa by Hed Pe as his entrance music. 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.
