Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vladmir Inemko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodef Canmelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Inemko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Sabbath - Iron Man. Canmelianenko is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Emperor - The Loss And Curse Of Reverence. Rodef Canmelianenko has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
