Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Wayne (ranked 1245 p4p, 2505 weight class) and Havar Bjornbak (ranked 141 p4p, 291 weight class). Wayne comes to the cage accompanied by Edge Of A Revolution- Nickelback. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bjornbak's choice of entrance music: Danheim - Berserkir. 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.
