Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Baller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Leonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Longest Dick ever -Remix. Leonov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Red october kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
