Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gustav Marailov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Phoenix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marailov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Вставай. 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 Paul Phoenix was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
