Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Envidia Mata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauricio Nicolosi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mata comes to the ring accompanied by Sinner by Drowning Pool. Nicolosi has chosen Step Down as his entrance music. Envidia Mata had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Mauricio Nicolosi has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Envidia Mata's chin.
