Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Humbert Humbert (ranked 573 p4p, 84 weight class) and Vlad Darko (ranked 524 p4p, 79 weight class). Humbert comes to the cage accompanied by Babylon 5. Darko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ominous Drumming. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
