Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iosef Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dzhugashvili kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gosudarstvenniy Gimn SSSR . Balboa has chosen Eye Of The Tiger as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Michael Balboa is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
