Danneskjold's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bang Your Head by Quiet Riot. Takada has chosen Metallica - All Nightmare Long as his entrance music. 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?
