Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Lambert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pebbles OfCocoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lambert might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Aaron Lewis - Country Boy. 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.
