Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mirko Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zeljko Poutintsev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Filipovic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wild Boys. Poutintsev has chosen punainen lokakuu 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kong Le (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mannerheim kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Touch Of Red. Le has chosen Ave Maria as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kong Le has the eye of the tiger tonight.
