Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Musashimaru Koyo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dana Whyte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koyo comes to the cage accompanied by "Tengoku Kara Kaminari" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Whyte has chosen Imagine - John Lennon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
