Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jurij Boreiko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Boris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boreiko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Marpo - Muay Thai. Boris has chosen Big Guns as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Fedor Boris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
