Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Kaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is For Whom The Bell Tolls. Kaka has chosen Pjanoo by Eric Prydaz as his entrance music. Ricardo Kaka will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
