Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaakko Parantainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brunson Doyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Parantainen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gasellit - Ime Huiluu . Doyle has chosen On To The Next One as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Brunson Doyle has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jaakko Parantainen's chin.
