Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sue Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mooses Gonzales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tässä Tulee Hirmuinen Rölli. Gonzales is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Liehuva Liekinvarsi. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
