Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenshiro Kasumi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tanner Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kasumi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ai Wo Torimodose aka Song of Manliness. Speed has chosen Funky Kingston / Toots And The Maytals as his entrance music. 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.
