Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sir Didymus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jin Kisaragi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Didymus comes into the arena with Welcome to the TerrorDome blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kisaragi's choice of entrance music: Lust SIN. Jin Kisaragi told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
