Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yoshihiro Asai (ranked 1050 p4p, 1768 weight class) and Aleksey Viktorov (ranked 67 p4p, 113 weight class). Asai comes to the cage accompanied by Grand Sword. The crowd seem to be enjoying Viktorov's choice of entrance music: Lyube - Davay Za. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
