Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Anfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sven Runar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anfield's entrance music is Ecuador. A fine choice. Runar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Amon Amarth - The Pursuit of Vikings. 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.
