Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ernesti Vihervaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuudai Ryuu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vihervaara might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Headhunterz - Last Of Mohicanz. Ryuu comes into a darkened arena with his song building. High on Fire - Bastard Samurai kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Yuudai Ryuu will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
