Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Elias Virtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fidel Castro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Virtanen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Haittavaikutus - Matkalla. Castro is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Carlos Puebla - Y En Eso Llego Fidel. Virtanen has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Fidel Castro has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Elias Virtanen's chin.
