Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mitsuomi Sakata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Trejo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sakata comes to the ring accompanied by Ketsunoke vs Shirinoke by Gintama OST. Trejo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dire Straits- Six Blade Knife. 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.
