Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malik Al-Khaldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brutus Kowalski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Al-Khaldi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Terror - Shot Of Reality. Kowalski has chosen Pantera - Fucking Hostile as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
