Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vyacheslav Kalashnikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derric Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kalashnikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Leningrad Cowboys - Those Were The Days. Styles has chosen Wiz Khalifa - Work Hard Play Hard as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
