Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bwana Mkubwa (ranked 834 p4p, 24 weight class) and Jimmu Tenno Hantei (ranked 3643 p4p, 133 weight class). Mkubwa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You're Going Down. Hantei is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Triarii - Emperor Of The Sun. 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.
