Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Henrik Penttila (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Volta Polotski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penttila comes into the arena with Go to Sleep blaring out of the sound system. Henrik Penttila had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Volta Polotski will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
