Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yoshi Yamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jushin Kusanagi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yamoto kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Blow by Atreyu. Kusanagi has chosen Got The Life as his entrance music. Jushin Kusanagi is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kenshiro Yamamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wanderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva has chosen Darude - Sandstorm as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kenshiro Yamamoto looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
