Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Olli Kuhta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cassit Heiluu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuhta comes to the cage accompanied by Break Out.

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.
