Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matthew Cristico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zangief Chaykovsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cristico comes to the cage accompanied by Snoop Dogg - Drop It Like It's Hot ft. Pharrell Williams. Chaykovsky comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Theme of Zangief kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
