Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Anton Kuivanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Strugalsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kuivanen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West - POWER . Strugalsky has chosen Muay Thai as his entrance music. Roman Strugalsky struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
