Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Momoshiro Kitsune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yusuke Nakamura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kitsune might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 僕はミス・テイク～. Nakamura has chosen Movado - Neva Believe U as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
