Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kauko Partio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marko Metwursti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Partio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Popeda - Mä elän vieläkin. 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 Marko Metwursti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
