Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joel Miller (ranked 510 p4p, 387 weight class) and Hjallis Kalske (ranked 66 p4p, 48 weight class). Kalske has chosen Children Of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet? as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
