Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joonas Muikku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jango Fett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muikku kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ruudolf - Leijonakuningaslaulu. Fett has chosen Jango Fett Unleashed as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Joonas Muikku has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joonas Muikku seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
