Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vasiliy Sobolev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Namor McKenzie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sobolev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ya kuplu tebe dom. McKenzie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Man From Atlantis. Namor McKenzie told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
