Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Shota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zeus Obliteratii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shota might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Panther Theme by Stephen James Taylor . Obliteratii is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Walkürenritt. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
