Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jackṏb Jṏhanssṏn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julle Hallava (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jṏhanssṏn comes to the cage accompanied by Coughee Brothaz - No such thing as I cant. Hallava is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nightcall.
