Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karlos Vemola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ilkka Kanerva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vemola might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Balfa Brothers - Parlez Nous A Boire. Kanerva has chosen Sultans of Swing as his entrance music. Karlos Vemola could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ilkka Kanerva's chin.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Mayhem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ceaser El Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayhem kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bullet With A Name by Nonpoint. El Toro has chosen Bulls On Parade as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
