Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Joonas Mustonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ric Landeverde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landeverde has chosen Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joonas Mustonen looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
