Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuuto Yoshida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pugilistic Dementia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yoshida comes to the cage accompanied by Blue Oyster Cult Godzilla . Dementia is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar. 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.
