Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jussi Suo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Erik Lehnsherr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suo comes to the cage accompanied by In Flames - Trigger. Lehnsherr comes into a darkened arena with his song building. PURE EVIL! kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
