Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fionn Mac Cumhaill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diesel Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mac Cumhaill comes to the cage accompanied by Warriors Code . Power has chosen Gasellit - Kiittämätön nilkki as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Diesel Power was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
