Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yusuke Urameshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quik Yin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Urameshi comes to the cage accompanied by Styles P & Uncle Murda - Poppin Bottle. Yin has chosen I Got A Feeling (lol :P) as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Quik Yin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
