Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wes Ekwall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akira Ishikawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ekwall's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Linkin Park--One Step Closer. Ishikawa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by mindshift genki sudo. Akira Ishikawa told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
