Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between ILja Muromets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Harrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muromets's entrance music is Krec Паром через. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Harrison's choice of entrance music: DMX - Joe Harrison Song. This should be a great matchup!
