Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Igor Svetnela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomi Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Svetnela might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angel of Death by Slayer. Koski has chosen Dj Neon - In Hardtrance I Trust as his entrance music. Tomi Koski is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
