Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shinichi Fuujin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pernell Whittaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fuujin comes to the cage accompanied by Soilwork - Rejection Role. 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 Pernell Whittaker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
