Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirk Hammett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Strauss Von Rochenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hammett comes into the arena with For Whom The Bell Tolls blaring out of the sound system. Von Rochenberger has chosen Rammstein - Sonne 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.
