Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gregor Vandenhoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waqas Malik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vandenhoff's entrance music is Du Hast. A fine choice. Malik is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Final Countdown. 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.
