Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karate Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiyato Suzuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kid's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Go to sleep. Suzuki has chosen X JAPAN - Forever Love as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
