Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between David Yung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kai Yamaguchi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yung's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 陳小春 - 亂世巨星. Yamaguchi has chosen Yama Yama as his entrance music. 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.
