Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bill Annunaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pera Vihtahousu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Annunaki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tool - Aenima. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vihtahousu's choice of entrance music: Konevitsan Kirkonkellot. Bill Annunaki has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
