Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gen Tenryu (ranked 291 p4p, 295 weight class) and Lyke Tuytuhlz (ranked 35 p4p, 37 weight class). Tenryu's entrance music is piri & tommy - on & on. A fine choice. Tuytuhlz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nas - N.Y. State of Mind. 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.
