Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Monstra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergey Kharinov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Monstra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slayer - Hate Worldwide. Kharinov has chosen Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
