Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Lobo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicolas Arenas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lobo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Medasin - Daydream (feat. Joba). Arenas comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Alive-Krewella kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
