Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sho Shinjo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aze Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shinjo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Theme of Sho. The crowd seem to be enjoying Toro's choice of entrance music: Hate me or Get DIE tryn' - 50cent. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
