Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sun Kato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel Burkshire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kato might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to STILL BALLIN. Burkshire has chosen It's a Fight - Three 6 Mafia as his entrance music. Nigel Burkshire will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
