Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nyyrikki Kaiho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silver Surfer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Nakarainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Garvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nakarainen's entrance music is Juice Leskinen - Vaasankin veri vapisee. A fine choice. Garvey comes into a darkened arena with his song building. One Loaf of Bread -- Damian Marley kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Inge Koll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
