Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Bautin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taisto Sinisalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bautin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lobotomy by The Ramones. Sinisalo has chosen Jos rakastat as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
