Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vinícius Cavalcante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lobsta Mang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cavalcante's entrance music is Entrance. A fine choice. Mang is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 2pac - Raise Up. 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.
