Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Mamar (ranked 485 p4p, 1400 weight class) and Dick Glover (ranked 65 p4p, 179 weight class). Mamar comes to the cage accompanied by Slipkibieber - Psychosocial Babe. 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.
