Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Ivanovits (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Lukashenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ivanovits might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Odorants - This Night. Lukashenko has chosen Belarus National Anthem as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
