Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ken Kei Katsuro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donald Register (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katsuro's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Wayne - Playin With Fire. Register has chosen Mama Said Knock You Out as his entrance music. Donald Register told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
