Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gar Diu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinnosuke Nohara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diu comes to the cage accompanied by Song of Manliness. Nohara has chosen Dame Dame no Uta as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Shinnosuke Nohara will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
