Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juha Tappio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gerald Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tappio's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kari Tapio - Juna kulkee vaan. The crowd seem to be enjoying Davis's choice of entrance music: Mama Said Knock You Out. Gerald Davis will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
