Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tero Taikina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brutaali Keijo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Taikina might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cookie song. The crowd seem to be enjoying Keijo's choice of entrance music: CMX - Pyörivät Sähkökoneet. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
