Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Eliézer Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Woima Karhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes. Karhu has chosen House of Pain - Jump Around as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
