Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Poncho Alejandro Hernan Pizarro Cortez (ranked 1361 p4p, 2787 weight class) and Lehel Bartasz (ranked 44 p4p, 80 weight class). Cortez's entrance music is La Bamba. A fine choice. Bartasz comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Manowar... kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
