Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lazerus Limbtwister (ranked 3282 p4p, 345 weight class) and Bobby Lashley (ranked 4175 p4p, 424 weight class). Limbtwister's entrance music is Breaking bones,Taking war-by CANNIBAL CORPSE. A fine choice. Lashley has chosen Fire & Brimstone as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
