Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Pioneeri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aquiles Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pioneeri's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lenin-setä asuu Venäjällä. Romero is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Scotland The Brave. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
