Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samson Miodek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alojz Černý (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miodek kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Radioactive. Černý has chosen Czech Republic national anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Samson Miodek had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
