Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Voitto Putkimies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olav Erikson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Putkimies might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tik Tak - Heilutaan. Erikson has chosen Testament - Eyes of Wrath as his entrance music. Olav Erikson will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
