Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fistus Maximus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Asbjorn Rundstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maximus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sonne by Rammstein. Rundstrom has chosen Lose Control as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
