Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Haplopelma Hainanum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waclaw Panek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hainanum kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kryptonite by Three Doors Down. 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.
