Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Franco Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Pablos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Michal Tarnowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonas Putin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tarnowski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hemp Gru - Sami swoi . Putin has chosen Ruudolf - Leijonakuningaslaulu as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jonas Putin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
