Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kane Wade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Koji Matsuda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wade comes to the cage accompanied by System of a down - This cocaine make me feel like I'm on this song. Matsuda is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 科学忍者隊ガッチャ.
