Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Josefin Skott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matti Nykanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nykanen has chosen Elama on laiffii 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 Matti Nykanen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
