Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shogun Iron Tyson (ranked 44 p4p, 9 weight class) and Volya Nikolaev (ranked 147 p4p, 24 weight class). Iron Tyson comes to the cage accompanied by Slaughterouse - Party. Nikolaev is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fever . 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 Volya Nikolaev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
