Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between beej dem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tetsuo Chiba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think dem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to born unknown. Chiba has chosen Chop Suey 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.
