Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between AHIGA OTAKTAY (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jokke Nappula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). OTAKTAY comes to the cage accompanied by Tomahawk - War Song. Nappula has chosen Foo Fighters - All My Life as his entrance music. 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 Jokke Nappula was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
