Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steen Christensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janne Maunonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christensen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Xzibit - Alcoholic. Maunonen has chosen Heavy metal kings - King Diamond as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
