Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Salvador Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armas Paisti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alves's entrance music is Mama said . A fine choice. Paisti has chosen HKI Crates - Spessujopo feat. Solonen & Kosola as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
