Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Goryachev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yokkao Kaennorsing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goryachev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Die Antwoord- Wat Pomp. Kaennorsing has chosen Jungle Boogie as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
