Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ice Lander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masaru Hideki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lander comes into the arena with Tribute blaring out of the sound system. Hideki has chosen Sparzanza - Temple Of The Red - Eyed Pigs as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
