Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ten Red Gym (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Niska Laukaus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Red Gym comes to the cage accompanied by Eye of the Tiger. Laukaus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by the way of the fist. 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.

Nappula has chosen The Troggs- Wild Thing as his entrance music. Rod Brave could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jokke Nappula's chin.
