Pacman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bebot by Black Eyed Peas. Makunouchi comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pretender kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
