Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Riski Hiski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timo Hissi Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hissi Junior has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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 Timo Hissi Junior was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rakastaja Nurminen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juha Mieto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
