Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hiroshima Nagasaki (ranked 1620 p4p, 687 weight class) and Herbert Kreischer (ranked 243 p4p, 105 weight class). Nagasaki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ground Zero (MOP). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kreischer's choice of entrance music: Bert Learns To Hip-Hop Dance To Post Malones "WOW". Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
