Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Olli Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jussi Murikka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jokinen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Prodigy - Poison. Murikka has chosen Rock'n'Rolla as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jussi Murikka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
