Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Inas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yason Tupaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Inas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rage Against The Machine: Killing In The Name. Tupaz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Step Up. Oliver Inas could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Yason Tupaz's chin.
