Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jiu Jitsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and O Sagat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jitsu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nikkfurie- The a la Menthe. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sagat's choice of entrance music: Street Dreams - Hollywood Undead. O Sagat has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jiu Jitsu's chin.
