Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lugh Blackburn (ranked 3064 p4p, 433 weight class) and Hank Lombard (ranked 2271 p4p, 331 weight class). Blackburn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is When the Man Comes Down. Lombard has chosen Shinedown - Sound Of Madness as his entrance music. 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.
