Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Grisha Kamenow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yukii Ogata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kamenow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Linkin Park - Bleed It Out. Ogata has chosen Eminem - Not Afraid as his entrance music. Grisha Kamenow could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Yukii Ogata's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba Gump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Leonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gump kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fucking Hostile - Pantera. Leonov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Red october kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
