Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jarkko Vaakku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Torrez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vaakku's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I'll Face Myself (Reincarnation). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
