Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hakan Juholt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pelle Paniikki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Paniikki's choice of entrance music: N'sync - Bye Bye Bye. Pelle Paniikki told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
