Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Otso Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santeri Norzu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jokinen comes to the cage accompanied by E.S. Posthumus - Unstoppable. Norzu has chosen Cult of Luna - Back To Chapel Town as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Santeri Norzu told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
