TheWoWDBThis particular match seems to be bugged now. At least if you try to solo it. A few seconds after Magnataur enters the arena, he loses all aggro then runs away and despawns, causing you to fail the quest. The goblin shouts about how he died but you will get a failure message in your chat window and the quest will immediately become acceptable again from the quest giver.
I redid the fight a couple of times, trying to determine what was happening, before ultimately realizing that I simply had to kill him as quickly as possible. You have a very small window of time, just burn him down as soon as you are allowed to attack.
He will run down one of the staircases and become attackable once he steps onto the arena floor and comes to a stop. Hit him with everything you've got and it should work. At 82, I just spammed Arcane Shot on my hunter and I succeeded in killing him before he took off again.

This is the Ring of Blood of Northrend apparently. (Check This post @ mmochampion for screenshots.)
According to the quick research I did, these are the order of the quests, from first to last:
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Yggdras!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Magnataur!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: From Beyond!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Tuskarrmageddon!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Korrak the Bloodrager!
# The Champion of Anguish
(STILL BUGGED in 2022) What worked for me was to stand RIGHT where he activates from orange to red and he engaged me, thankfully, instead of immediately failing the quest and despawning.

What to do
Description
This next match is a doozy, buddy! Apparently some magnataur from the Dragonblight wants a piece of the action. You ever fought one of those before? All I can tell you is to aim high! We'll get this party started when you give me the word.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Amphitheater of Anguish: Yggdras!
I was wondering when you'd show up, <name>! Having a past champion of the Ring of Blood here will be a huge draw! We're gonna be rich, buddy! RICH! Anyway, this dump is Zul'Drak. All the ice trolls seem to use it as a toilet. I dunno, the whole place is off its rocker if you ask me!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Amphitheater of Anguish: From Beyond!
I'm not gonna lie to you, pal. You might be overmatched here. This next one is a being from the elemental planes! I don't even know what's gonna show up in that arena! If you think you're up to it, get in there and give 'em hell!
