Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Torsti Turjake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barnes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Torsti Turjake was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kuure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Rovanpera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kuure might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm Coming Home. Rovanpera has chosen Die Antwoord - Enter The Ninja as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
