Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalle Kolmiokuristus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carter comes to the ring accompanied by La Roux - In For The Kill. Kolmiokuristus has chosen bad boy - cascada as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Timo Nieminen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hemmo Hujoppi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nieminen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rentun Ruusu. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hujoppi's choice of entrance music: Juelz Santana - Kill Em'. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
