Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Taylor Jack (ranked 256 p4p, 32 weight class) and Hitoshi Yoshida (ranked 407 p4p, 53 weight class). Jack kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lucid Dreams. Yoshida comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Yoshida Brothers - Rising kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
