Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Igor Shevchenko (ranked 2535 p4p, 23095 weight class) and Grzegorz Crayewski (ranked 306 p4p, 636 weight class). Shevchenko comes to the ring accompanied by Mouth For War - Pantera. Crayewski is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Flux Pavilion x Feed Me - Survive (feat. meesh). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Grzegorz Crayewski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
