Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Donato Russo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarmo Laukkanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Russo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Imagine Dragons-Radioactive. Laukkanen has chosen The Mutilation of Christ as his entrance music. Jarmo Laukkanen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
