Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Iron Chancellor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eiki Daikaura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chancellor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Amon Tobin / El Cargo. Eiki Daikaura has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
