Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between AXEL WHEELER (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Toten Kopf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). WHEELER's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, If you want blood(You got it) by AC/DC. Kopf has chosen Motörhead - Iron Fist as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
