Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Gatherer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ravil Lebedev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gatherer's entrance music is Down In A Hole - Alice In Chains. A fine choice. Lebedev comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Come the Revolution kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ravil Lebedev will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
