Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Teppo Mansikka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Pierre Babin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mansikka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sattuu. Babin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: South Park - Let's Fighting Love. 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.
