Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Wayne Killer Clown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marko Mielikanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Killer Clown's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gary Lewis & the Playboys - Everybody Loves a Clown. Mielikanen has chosen Häjyt as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
