Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mitch McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olav Erikson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDonald kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sounds of Silence.
