Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jussi Murikka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stefan Pozsgai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murikka's entrance music is Rock'n'Rolla. A fine choice. Pozsgai has chosen Face in the Sand as his entrance music. 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?
