Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mizushima Muroi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tamias Poochyena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muroi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Out - Circa Survive. The crowd seem to be enjoying Poochyena's choice of entrance music: This Life - Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
