Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rolf Thorkildsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Valdemar Friman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Friman has chosen Metallica - Damage Inc. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
