Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Arlovskii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I Am Perfection by Cage 9. Andrei Arlovskii looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
