Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vladmir Lenin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kurt the wrestler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lenin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Soviet National Anthem. the wrestler has chosen Call On Me - Eric Pyrdz as his entrance music. Vladmir Lenin looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
