Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Taisto Rakuuna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paha Faarao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rakuuna's entrance music is Bad Company - Bad Company. A fine choice. Faarao has chosen Probot- Red War as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
