Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fagell McLovin (ranked 464 p4p, 57 weight class) and Gustaf Stenbeck (ranked 630 p4p, 77 weight class). McLovin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, My Dick. 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Vyrkyx Dall (ranked 532 p4p, 21 weight class) and Eliitti Paavo (ranked 642 p4p, 25 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Worm. The crowd seem to be enjoying Paavo's choice of entrance music: Brother Firetribe - Winner Takes It All. 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.
