Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tim Write (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akira Hayabusa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Write might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dark Knight metal theme. Hayabusa comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bombs Away kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Akira Hayabusa will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
