Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hiroshi Gomi (ranked 2142 p4p, 3575 weight class) and Terrell Yates (ranked 131 p4p, 207 weight class). Gomi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Only Thing The Fear is You- DOOM Eternal OST. 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?
