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.
