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.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yoshihiro Takaya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Morrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takaya kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jimi Hendrix - All along the Watchtower. Morrison is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Alive. Tommy Morrison has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
