Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kari Moukari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hatsu Matsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moukari's entrance music is Tech N9ne - Stress Relief. A fine choice. Matsu has chosen LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
