Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between gogo momo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoshi Yamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). momo comes to the cage accompanied by Miles Davis - Moon Dreams. Yamoto comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blow by Atreyu kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Yoshi Yamoto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
