Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tomi Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arnie Ironz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koski's entrance music is Catatonic Overload - Heavyweight . A fine choice. Ironz comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Limp Bizkit - Gold Cobra kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
