Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Antti Karhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyroil Smoochie Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karhu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Samuli Edelman - Teit meistä kauniin. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tiyaro Feitsora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pera Pulkkinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Feitsora's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Helmet - Unsung. The crowd seem to be enjoying Pulkkinen's choice of entrance music: TURISAS - Stand Up And Fight. 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?
