Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jed Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikhail Zakarova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Masilungan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dying Inside . Zakarova has chosen Song of the Volga Boatmen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jed Masilungan has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
