Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaska Jalovaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amisviiksi Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Machinae Supremacy - Death From Above kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Amisviiksi Tolonen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
