Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuya Inoue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Capwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Inoue's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Viikate - Viina, terva & hauta. Capwell is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Haunted - 99. Yuya Inoue could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mason Capwell's chin.
