Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mk Ultra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sebastien Linne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ultra kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Bad - Satriani. The crowd seem to be enjoying Linne's choice of entrance music: Arcturus - The Chaos Path. Mk Ultra has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
