Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gunnar Magnussen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shaba Wonton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magnussen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bloody Beetroots - Butter. Wonton comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dropkick Murphys - Im Shipping Up To Boston kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
