Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nicolai Romanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Snake Porvac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Romanov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kalinka. Porvac has chosen Hell's Bells as his entrance music. Snake Porvac has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
