Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Egill Skallagrimsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miksu Rupunen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skallagrimsson comes into the arena with Hoeremeisje by EyeMJR blaring out of the sound system. Rupunen has chosen Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down 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.
