Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trouble Some (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mitsuomi Sakata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sakata comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ketsunoke vs Shirinoke by Gintama OST kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
