Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dolph Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saku Sammakko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fredriksson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to He-Man Theme and Yelling . Sammakko has chosen Saku Sammakko as his entrance music.
