Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Santino Lombardo (ranked 253 p4p, 402 weight class) and Uesugi Mochinori (ranked 40 p4p, 63 weight class). Lombardo comes to the cage accompanied by Illusions. Mochinori has chosen Japanese Battle Music as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
