Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yusuke Nakamura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sameer Hamadoui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nakamura comes to the cage accompanied by Movado - Neva Believe U. Hamadoui comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lights Out kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sameer Hamadoui was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
