Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tendai Mtarawira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Austin comes to the cage accompanied by SHATTERED DREAMS. Mtarawira has chosen the beast tribute 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.
