Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Zachary White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genki Sudo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White's entrance music is Drop Bombs - Ben Samples. A fine choice. 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.
