Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tim Tebow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gundar Thorsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tebow's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, God's Gonna Cut You Down. Thorsen has chosen Gundar Thorsen Theme Song- White Superman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tim Tebow could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gundar Thorsen's chin.
