Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Mamar (ranked 1356 p4p, 990 weight class) and Felix Suarez (ranked 171 p4p, 130 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mamar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slipkibieber - Psychosocial Babe. Suarez has chosen Mexican Sun as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
