Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Albert Albertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ranta Runtiringen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Runtiringen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Death cures all pain" by Suicide Commando. 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.
