Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Shen Po (ranked 1790 p4p, 864 weight class) and Ryan Landry (ranked 250 p4p, 132 weight class). Po's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ei-tetsu Hayashi & 木下伸市. 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.
