Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Borkschveir Wilsijvacia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noah Gregory (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gregory has chosen A New Level as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Borkschveir Wilsijvacia looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
