Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kalevi Holger Routakirves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jock Sleed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Routakirves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Miami Nights 1984 - Elevator of Love. Kalevi Holger Routakirves could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jock Sleed's chin.
