Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Olli Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Allowin Baaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jokinen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy - Poison. Baaf has chosen 'Wild Boys' by Duran Duran as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Allowin Baaf has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Olli Jokinen's chin.

He has the power to get to Maksimilian Tchepikov's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jan Paulsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Monstra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paulsen's entrance music is Berserkergang. A fine choice. Monstra has chosen Slayer - Hate Worldwide as his entrance music. 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 Marcus Monstra was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
