Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jigoro Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sun Kato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kane's entrance music is Under a Killing Moon by Thrice. A fine choice. Kato has chosen STILL BALLIN as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sun Kato has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
