Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bill Dance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ichiro Takahashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dance might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Broken Beating Scarred - Metallica. Takahashi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 暗殺者. Bill Dance has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
