Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Drysdale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinicius Magalhaes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Drysdale might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jadakiss - The Champ Is Here. Magalhaes comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Draculino kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
