Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lucky Wasabi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Merengue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wasabi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pokerface. Merengue is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Flood of Red - Dont Sleep, Swim.. 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.
