Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuudai Ryuu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Proudstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryuu's entrance music is High on Fire - Bastard Samurai. A fine choice. Proudstar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "Run to the hills" by Iron Maiden . 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.
