Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zell Dincht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Vadokowich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dincht might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fanfare. Vadokowich has chosen Metallica - Enter Sandman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vadim Vadokowich has the eye of the tiger tonight.
