Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kuure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Susikasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuure kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Misjah & Groovehead - Trippin' Out. Kuure has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
