Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ten Red Gym (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jori Jujipallo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Red Gym might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eye of the Tiger. Jujipallo has chosen Children Of Bodom's Everytime I Die as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
