Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Uolevi Kaipainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marko Mielikanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaipainen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fredi - Puhu hiljaa rakkaudesta. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mielikanen's choice of entrance music: Häjyt. Uolevi Kaipainen had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
