Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hans Landa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Kilimanjaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ich tu dir weh - Rammstein. Kilimanjaro has chosen David Guetta - She Wolf (Falling To Pieces) ft. Sia as his entrance music. Hans Landa has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
