Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juho Kusti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kuyopidus Fantastic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kusti comes to the cage accompanied by Rumblejunkie - Dope Angel. Fantastic has chosen "The Touch" - Stan Bush as his entrance music. 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.
