Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ravi Vamoosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eliitti Paavo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vamoosh's entrance music is The Roaring Tiger. A fine choice. Paavo has chosen Brother Firetribe - Winner Takes It All as his entrance music. 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.
