Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Romeo Bellanca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maligni Tudor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bellanca kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold. Tudor has chosen KRANKSVESTER - Rakija as his entrance music. Maligni Tudor told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
