Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vlad The Impaler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Salvador Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Impaler's entrance music is Δράκων . A fine choice. Alves is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mama said . 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 Salvador Alves was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
