Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lance St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kai Watanabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Pierre kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 16 FEVER. Watanabe is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bombage by Tiësto. Kai Watanabe told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
