Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Street Fighter (ranked 104 p4p, 13 weight class) and Kuroda Atsushii (ranked 305 p4p, 41 weight class). Fighter's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, You Know How I Do It. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
