Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between K.J. Choi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Chinaski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). J. Choi and Hank Chinaski. Choi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is PSY - Gangnam Style. The crowd seem to be enjoying Chinaski's choice of entrance music: Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 9: Mov. 4. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
