Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Blokada Leningrada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zak Drezner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leningrada might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Farewell of Slavyanka. Drezner is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cypress Hill - Checkmate. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
