Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kent Hytten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Afro Samurai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hytten's entrance music is Wait and Bleed. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Samurai's choice of entrance music: Sad memory. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
