Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rikuto Ryuunosuke (ranked 1281 p4p, 1278 weight class) and Charles Manson (ranked 164 p4p, 163 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ryuunosuke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You Wa Shock. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
