Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Erik Magnusson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waldo Whip (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magnusson comes to the cage accompanied by The Animal by Disturbed. Whip has chosen BLUNT- as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
