Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Duke Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Custo Lombardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nelson comes to the cage accompanied by Bombs Away by Whole Wheat Bread. Lombardo has chosen The Ripper as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
