Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yang Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javier Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Japanese National Anthem. Hernandez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Danza kuduro. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dutch Schultz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wado Ryu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryu has chosen kalimba as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Wado Ryu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
