Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaakko Parantainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mac Force (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parantainen comes into the arena with Cryin' Like A Bitch - Godsmack blaring out of the sound system. Jaakko Parantainen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
