Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maxim Dragunov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugh G Rection (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dragunov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Soviet National Anthem. Rection has chosen Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth as his entrance music. Hugh G Rection has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
