Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikko Tysooni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Les Grossman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tysooni kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cantina Song. Grossman comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur... 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steven Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauri Kunnas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fredriksson comes to the cage accompanied by System Of A Down - Vicinity Of Obscenity!. Kunnas has chosen Jumal x10 Lavis - Jeesus as his entrance music. 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.

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?
