Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Magnusson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sandu Lungu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Lungu has chosen You Ain't Stoppin Me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sandu Lungu has the eye of the tiger tonight.
