Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Viiksi Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paco Da Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolonen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kid Rock - American Bad Ass. Da Man is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tenacious D - Beelzeboss. Viiksi Tolonen could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Paco Da Man's chin.
