Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Samuli Kuivanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Light (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Light has chosen Bobby Light ft Bishop Lamont, Ryu & Drama Beats - Lights Out "Dirty Girl Pa as his entrance music. Light has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
