Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gregzradinki Tulumplzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Losco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tulumplzi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cradle. Losco has chosen Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline as his entrance music. Gregzradinki Tulumplzi has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Teo Rantanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Urho Itaniemi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rantanen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bats of love. The crowd seem to be enjoying Itaniemi's choice of entrance music: Volbeat - Still Counting. Urho Itaniemi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
