Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lewis Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmitri Romonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Creed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Asser Toropainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Enforcer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Toropainen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Paleface-Syntynyt rellestää. Enforcer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ozzy Osbourne: Let Me Hear You Scream. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
