Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexei Babinski (ranked 259 p4p, 219 weight class) and Ulysses Blazkov (ranked 39 p4p, 33 weight class). Babinski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raining Blood - Slayer. Blazkov has chosen Me And The Devil as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
