Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jussi Virtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esko Salo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jussi Virtanen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.9lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Beltran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Soturi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beltran kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Poppa. Soturi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Insomnium - Down With the Sun. Max Beltran has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
