Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Winston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akseli Suokuokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Winston kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This Life by Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers. Suokuokka has chosen The Bags - Cavemen Rejoice as his entrance music. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
