Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Boris Gregorovitsj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xantos Aremis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gregorovitsj might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pink Panther Theme. Aremis is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Infected Mushroom - Merlin. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
