Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kok Svin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juho Pennanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Know your enemy - Rage against the machine. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
