Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kazuo Kawada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alistair Armageddon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kawada kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dio - Rainbow in the Dark. Alistair Armageddon struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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!
