Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirk Angel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Moldoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Angel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mudvayne-Fall Into Sleep. Moldoon has chosen Heaven Nor Hell as his entrance music. Kirk Angel has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
