Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leung Ting (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stash Kadowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ting kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Carl Douglas - Kung-fu fighting. Kadowski has chosen Rammstein - Ohne Dich as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
