Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ash Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Kharitonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Campbell's entrance music is Sun Poison and Skin Cancer. A fine choice. Kharitonov has chosen BLUNT - Raggae All Day as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Vladimir Kharitonov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
