Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Annunaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lance Kilkenny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Annunaki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tool - Aenima. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kilkenny's choice of entrance music: Murder was the case. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
