Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kazuo Haruki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Mossack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haruki comes to the cage accompanied by Battle Without Honor Or Humanity - Tomoyasu Hotei. Mossack has chosen Enough - Gravity Kills as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
