Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Keiji Hashimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cj Riley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hashimoto kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chopin's Funeral March in B flat minor. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
