Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Cross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Moonra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moonra is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Boombastic. 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.
