Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lyoto Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Costanza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rua kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AVANTASIA-Seven Angels. Costanza has chosen Jacco- När mörkret faller as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
