Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jet Gunner (ranked 666 p4p, 1321 weight class) and Pertti Naulakko (ranked 96 p4p, 193 weight class). Naulakko comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Amon Amarth - First Kill kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
