Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikko Kytta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luola Mies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kytta's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Odorants - This Night. Mies has chosen Can't be touched as his entrance music. 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?
