Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Highes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Kirkovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Highes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Skynyrd's Simple Man. Kirkovich has chosen Crazy Autotune as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vladimir Kirkovich has the eye of the tiger tonight.
