Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Holden Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tarmo Uusivirta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica Enter Sandman. Uusivirta has chosen Moonsorrow - Huuto as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksi Borga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Son Goku (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 Goku's choice of entrance music: Cha-La-Head-Cha-La. 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.
