Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pekka Perkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Taalasmaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perkele kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Impaled Nazarene - Hardboiled And Still Hellbound. The crowd seem to be enjoying Taalasmaa's choice of entrance music: J.Karjalainen - Missä se Väinö on?. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
