Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Satoshi Tanahashi (ranked 67 p4p, 8 weight class) and AC Slater (ranked 365 p4p, 56 weight class). Tanahashi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Blood Stain Child - Stargazer. Slater has chosen Stop What Ya Doin as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
