Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Radu Mondragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Lane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mondragon comes into the arena with "Five To One" by Marilyn Manson blaring out of the sound system. Radu Mondragon looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
