Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sid Mission (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kawamura Yoshimune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mission comes to the cage accompanied by Rodeo Song. Yoshimune has chosen The Riverboat Song - Ocean Colour Scene as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Kawamura Yoshimune was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
