Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kai Kona (ranked 906 p4p, 1348 weight class) and Wulfgang Bleak (ranked 116 p4p, 172 weight class). Kona kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is A Warriors Call. Bleak has chosen Du Hast - Rammstein as his entrance music. Kai Kona has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
