Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pekka Hirvasluoma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Shavnetski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hirvasluoma comes to the ring accompanied by H-Bolckx - Get in The Ring. Pekka Hirvasluoma had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds.
