Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Charles Martel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mahti Sonni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dreams - The Game. Sonni has chosen Aki & Turo - Mahtisonni - as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
