Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Petrov (ranked 22 p4p, 72 weight class) and Bimbo Slaissi (ranked 6 p4p, 12 weight class). Petrov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Черная Волга. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
