Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Teukka Salama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Avon Barksdale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Salama kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Temple Of The King. Barksdale has chosen Three Six Mafia - Its A Fight as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
