Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Boma (ranked 741 p4p, 102 weight class) and Mika Saarenpaa (ranked 753 p4p, 105 weight class). Boma's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Andrew and Wada Blood - Irie. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
