Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Malvin Maldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maldi comes to the cage accompanied by Loituma TECHNO!. Speed has chosen Tough as Steel by Wolfsbane as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Malvin Maldi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
