Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lager Assassin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keiji Hashimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Assassin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to yes. Hashimoto has chosen Holding Out For A Hero (Japanese Version) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lager Assassin could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Keiji Hashimoto's chin.
