Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Whisky Dan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Lundgren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "I'm a man" by Black Strobe. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johannes Komokallio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pyyno Janis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Komokallio comes into the arena with Bailando blaring out of the sound system. Janis has chosen Rubber Johnny as his entrance music. 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.
