Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Robin Carlgren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sakari Paasonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paasonen has chosen The Gay Barbie Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Robin Carlgren had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, 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. Robin Carlgren looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johannes Komokallio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pooby Phants (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phants has chosen Voodoo Chile as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
