Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Augusto Turolla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sami Salama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Augusto Turolla had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Co-main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jukko Hamalainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicholas Bojangles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hamalainen comes to the cage accompanied by Finnish National Anthem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bojangles's choice of entrance music: straight to the bank. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Nicholas Bojangles was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
