Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kenneth Constrictor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fredrik Persson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Constrictor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Anybody Killa - I Can't Help It. Persson has chosen Johnny Cash - Rusty cage as his entrance music. Fredrik Persson will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
