Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Teuvo Loman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Aybar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Teuvo Loman - Helsinki City Boy. Aybar has chosen Calle Ocho (75,Brazil Street) as his entrance music. Thiago Aybar will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
