Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kickin Rad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Varg Veide (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rad's entrance music is Kids Of The K-Hole. A fine choice. Veide is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Taking Care of Business. 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.
