Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gunner State (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yakai Ossini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). State kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blaze Of Glory by Bon Jovi. Ossini is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tsurugi No Mai by Nujabes. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
