Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jacque Joteel (ranked 283 p4p, 259 weight class) and Jallu Pesonen (ranked 36 p4p, 34 weight class). Joteel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Moogwalzer. Pesonen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by DJ Orkidea - Joutsenlaulu. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Graves (ranked 13 p4p, 78 weight class) and Demon Monkey (ranked 2 p4p, 11 weight class). Graves comes to the cage accompanied by Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade. Monkey is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bransjehora. On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Graves has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Graves seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
