Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Samy Diabate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teru Mikami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mikami has chosen Sakujo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Teru Mikami told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
