Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krug Barishkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giordano Bruno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barishkov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angel of Death - Slayer. Bruno has chosen Preliator as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
