Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ziggy Vondopolous (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafeal Djocovito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vondopolous comes to the cage accompanied by ГРОТ - Рубежи. Djocovito has chosen Rose - A Perfect Circle as his entrance music. 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 Rafeal Djocovito was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
