Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lance Invictus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorenzo Mcbane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Invictus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Can't Be Touched. 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.
