Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Magic (ranked 1998 p4p, 1498 weight class) and Biscuit Oliva (ranked 286 p4p, 231 weight class). Oliva has chosen Vo Williams - Primal (ft. Vyceroy) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Biscuit Oliva told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
