Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Toney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toney's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wicked. Johnson has chosen The Longest Day by Iron Maiden as his entrance music. 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.
