Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kid Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Zimmerman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torres kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Adagio For Strings. Zimmerman has chosen Linkin Park-- What Ive Done as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
