Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Colin Burton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eino Nappi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crying Game - Professor Green. Nappi has chosen O Fortuna 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Uolevi Kaipainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anti Midas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaipainen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fredi - Puhu hiljaa rakkaudesta. The crowd seem to be enjoying Midas's choice of entrance music: CunninLynguists - Hellfire . 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.
