Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Taavi Liisteri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Urho Kukkamaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liisteri kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Solid Base - I like it. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
