Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tauno Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rubert Kuminauha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolonen comes to the cage accompanied by Hurt me. Kuminauha has chosen Celine Dion - Just Walk Away 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?
