Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Katsu Higashikuni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hashimoto Toyotasan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Higashikuni's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wind Up Toys (Uncle Acid & the Deadbets). 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.
