Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Parts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenshiro Kasumi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parts's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, call to prayer. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kasumi's choice of entrance music: Ai Wo Torimodose aka Song of Manliness. Peter Parts could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Kenshiro Kasumi's chin.
