Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shinya Horiaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pernell Whittaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Horiaki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Darude - Sand Storm. Shinya Horiaki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
