Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sun Kato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sun Wukong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kato's entrance music is STILL BALLIN. A fine choice. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksi Borga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mitchell Stehling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borga's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, People In Planes - Last Man Standing. The crowd seem to be enjoying Stehling's choice of entrance music: Turmion Kätilöt - Minä MÄÄRÄÄN!. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
