Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samson Miodek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oleg Alekseev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miodek's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Radioactive. Alekseev has chosen Imperium as his entrance music. Oleg Alekseev told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
