Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Petr Kropotkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rustam Khabilov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kropotkin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Distress - Progress/Regress. Khabilov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rihanna Bitch Better Have My Money. Petr Kropotkin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
