Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Teuvo Loman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wanderlei Nogueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nogueira has chosen Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones as his entrance music. Nogueira has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
