Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karl Karlsson (ranked 656 p4p, 107 weight class) and Kassius Halo (ranked 666 p4p, 110 weight class). Karlsson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 300 Violin Orchestra . Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
