Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bunny Wailer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommi Hartola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wailer comes to the cage accompanied by Soul Rebel. 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 Tommi Hartola was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
