Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Martti Skeletor Kastelukannuberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ismo Laitela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laitela is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Anna Hanski - Tunteisiin. Martti Skeletor Kastelukannuberg had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Martti Skeletor Kastelukannuberg looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
