Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luigi Vampa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juyt Calhan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vampa's entrance music is Smuggler's Blues.

Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hannu Tappanii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jani Reuhkala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hannu Tappanii had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
