Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tatau Bloodgood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vesku Torni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bloodgood kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dark Tranquility - Terminus (Where Death Is Most Alive). Vesku Torni 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!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ming Xin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Unski Hallavaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Xin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Die Antwoord - Evil Boy. 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?
