Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josiah Bartlet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adrik Vasilev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bartlet comes to the cage accompanied by FM - 1 O'clock Tomorrow. Vasilev comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Mr. Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix Radio Edit) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Adrik Vasilev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
