Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Grammur Natzee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viljo Suokas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Natzee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Marillion - Garden Party. Suokas has chosen Limp Bizkit - Break stuff as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Grammur Natzee has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
