Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Stigu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shatei Yoshida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stigu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sabrina-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?
