Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Milo Andrianakis (ranked 1122 p4p, 1523 weight class) and Bombo Zola (ranked 146 p4p, 194 weight class). Andrianakis comes to the cage accompanied by The Andy Milonakis Theme Song. Zola has chosen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9V78UbdzWI as his entrance music. Bombo Zola 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!
