Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hawk Fleximario (ranked 51 p4p, 40 weight class) and Tungsten Kaafjord (ranked 4 p4p, 2 weight class). Fleximario's entrance music is Funkmeister. A fine choice. Kaafjord has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
