Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cornelius Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mendez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lord Est- Keho on mun temppeli. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
