Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nick Jokic (ranked 3771 p4p, 3877 weight class) and Malaki Solis (ranked 405 p4p, 407 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jokic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Serbian Song. Solis is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by VtM Redemption OST - Redemption Theme Modern. Malaki Solis is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
