Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Takeshi Toriyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harvey Jackman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toriyama's entrance music is Maino - Remember My Name. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jackman's choice of entrance music: DMX - It's Dark & Hell Is Hot. 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?
