Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kazuma Kuwabara (ranked 568 p4p, 458 weight class) and James Jordon (ranked 79 p4p, 61 weight class). Kuwabara comes to the cage accompanied by Kazuma Kuwabara Theme. Jordon comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sticky Icky kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jordon has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Kazuma Kuwabara has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
