Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nag Hambukoo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazuyuki Takimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hambukoo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Darkest Hour. The crowd seem to be enjoying Takimoto's choice of entrance music: Instrumental. 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.
