Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Muuli Potku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Hawking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Potku might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bad Meets Evil - Fast Lane. Hawking has chosen One Winged Angel by The Black Mages as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Näkäräinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Näkäräinen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Juice Leskinen - Vaasankin veri vapisee. Ramirez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Macabre - Nightstalker. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
