Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yuta Wakabayashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Count Chocula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wakabayashi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, vvotaro - Noi. 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 Count Chocula was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
