Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wally Kruschev (ranked 282 p4p, 599 weight class) and Vlad Darko (ranked 49 p4p, 96 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kruschev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pissed Off and Mad About it (Texas Hippie Coalition). Darko is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ominous Drumming. This should be fireworks!
