Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dedo Tarasov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Belnick Riva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tarasov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Ice Cube-Today Was A Good Day. Riva has chosen Holymen - The Last Universe as his entrance music. Dedo Tarasov looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
