Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Itagaki Fukuzawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shazaam McDaniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fukuzawa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is In Flames - Colony. The crowd seem to be enjoying McDaniels's choice of entrance music: Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
