Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ahto Paine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sauna Majuri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paine kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Iced Earth - Watching Over Me. Majuri has chosen Nälkämaan laulu - Polyteknikkojen kuoro as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
