Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mantak Garuda (ranked 34 p4p, 115 weight class) and Baldur Torsten (ranked 6 p4p, 19 weight class). Garuda's entrance music is Djiin Djiin. A fine choice. Torsten has chosen Temple of Odin 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.
