Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Taavi Liisteri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tatau Bloodgood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liisteri kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Solid Base - I like it. Bloodgood has chosen Dark Tranquility - Terminus (Where Death Is Most Alive) as his entrance music. Tatau Bloodgood has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Taavi Liisteri's chin.
