Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brett Gray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vasiliy Sobolev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gray kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain. Sobolev has chosen Ya kuplu tebe dom as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vasiliy Sobolev is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
