Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jouni Lettu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and I Shiv (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lettu's entrance music is Mephisto. A fine choice. Shiv is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Calcutta. 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.
