Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Vadokowich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny LaRusso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vadokowich comes to the cage accompanied by Metallica - Enter Sandman. LaRusso is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: You're The Best!. 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 Johnny LaRusso was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
