Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kiyoshi Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dexter Redshaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matsumoto comes to the cage accompanied by Carl Douglas - Kung fu fighting. Redshaw is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by ACDC - Skies on Fire. 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.
