Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mocha Latte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reima Katekismus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Latte comes to the cage accompanied by Vauvan teko homma. Katekismus has chosen Reima's Requiem 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Osgar MacGregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keni Susi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacGregor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Scotland The Brave (Leonidas). The crowd seem to be enjoying Susi's choice of entrance music: Metallica - Hero of the Day. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
