Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between William Wallace (ranked 250 p4p, 32 weight class) and Sagoya Nobonaga (ranked 1286 p4p, 163 weight class). Nobonaga is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kickboxer. Wallace has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
