Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Amir Zukic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miyamoto Musashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zukic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 50 cent - Many man. Musashi has chosen Andrea Bocelli- Time to Say Goodbye as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
