Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tursunovich Tokhtakhounov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Isamu Natsuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tokhtakhounov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ministry - Thieves. Isamu Natsuki told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
