Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ice Lander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teppo Mansikka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lander might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tribute. Mansikka has chosen Icepick - Born to Crush You as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Teppo Mansikka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
