Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johannes van Bruggen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Osmo Soininvaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soininvaara is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by country shit remix- ludacris, big krit, bun b. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pao Ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommi Hartola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
