Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dak Ishii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genc Haliti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ishii might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Insane in the membrane by Cypress Hill. The crowd seem to be enjoying Haliti's choice of entrance music: unikkatil-mos shaj mas shpine remix. Genc Haliti struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
