Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yoshiteru Goto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silik Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Japanese Boy. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hunt's choice of entrance music: London Calling. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
