Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lord Beerus (ranked 9164 p4p, 768 weight class) and Sascha Koniezko (ranked 4810 p4p, 550 weight class). Beerus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Judas by Fozzy. Koniezko has chosen Imperial March (L.O.D. Rage Mix) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
