Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bed Intruder (ranked 52 p4p, 6 weight class) and Teemu Karjalainen (ranked 148 p4p, 22 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Intruder might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bed Intruder. Karjalainen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Poisonblack - Sun Shines Black. This should be a great matchup!
