Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Hearst Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rankka Ankka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Game. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ankka's choice of entrance music: Milk - The Knife Song. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
