Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Karl Hungus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Blitzkof (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hungus comes into the arena with Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams blaring out of the sound system. Blitzkof has chosen In The End as his entrance music.
