Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Itagaki Fukuzawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silik Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fukuzawa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is In Flames - Colony. Hunt is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by London Calling. 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?
