Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Buddy Barnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinichi Onizuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnett comes into the arena with Stand Up blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Onizuka's choice of entrance music: Kurupt ft. TK Beatz - Outta Tha Country. 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.
