Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shinichi Fuujin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fuujin comes into the arena with Soilwork - Rejection Role blaring out of the sound system. Miller has chosen Johnny Cash - Hurt as his entrance music. Shinichi Fuujin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Matt Miller enters the cage!
