Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Takuji Kawashima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Togi Makabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tatsuya Aoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ardian Shiba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shiba is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Theme tune Mohammed rapes children. On his way into the cage it seems that Tatsuya Aoki has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tatsuya Aoki seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
