Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dwayne Waters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Takehiko Takaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Waters's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 50 Cent - Ready for War. The crowd seem to be enjoying Takaki's choice of entrance music: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Meeting Of The Spirits. Takaki has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. This should be fireworks!
