Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harald Friedricksen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Kroepoek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Friedricksen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Pursuit of Vikings by Amon Amarth. Kroepoek has chosen Escape from the Hostile as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuya Inoue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kain Saint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Inoue kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Viikate - Viina, terva & hauta. Saint has chosen Be Aggresive by Faith No More as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
