Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Masato Saeba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Che Satomi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saeba's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Easy Action. Satomi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bad Boys. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
