Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Feodor Shemelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shemelianenko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) . Nazarov has chosen "Fade to Black" by Metallica as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
