Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Kharitonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akira Toriyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kharitonov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BLUNT - Raggae All Day. Toriyama has chosen Three 6 Mafia - It's a Fight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
