Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tommy McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jokke Nappula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCall's entrance music is Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies. A fine choice. Nappula has chosen The Troggs- Wild Thing as his entrance music. 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.
