Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kim Kallstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kallstrom's entrance music is God Hates Us. A fine choice. Rua is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Time For War. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
