Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Takashi Kakihara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jushin Kusanagi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kakihara's entrance music is ZEEBRA - BUSHIDO. A fine choice. Kusanagi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Got The Life. Jushin Kusanagi is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
