Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ueda Umanouke (ranked 256 p4p, 40 weight class) and Hulk Butane (ranked 625 p4p, 87 weight class). Umanouke kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kenji Kawai's Making of a Cyborg. Butane has chosen Genesis as his entrance music. Ueda Umanouke has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
