Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Drago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben McEnsie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Drago might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to James Brown - Living In America. Ivan Drago had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
