Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikey Powell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryuu Nobuyuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nobuyuki has chosen The Warriors Code - Dropkick Murphy's as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mikey Powell looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
