Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tanaka Matsuda (ranked 459 p4p, 1946 weight class) and Emporio Cannabino (ranked 61 p4p, 250 weight class). Matsuda's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King. Cannabino has chosen Ludacris - Blueberry yum yum as his entrance music. 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.
