Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stanislav Laitamo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arana Kahui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laitamo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Likanen Etelä: ADOD, Mc Rambo, Musta Jori & Serkku Toni - H.U.R.R.I . The crowd seem to be enjoying Kahui's choice of entrance music: Mustasch - Dogwash. On his way into the cage it seems that Stanislav Laitamo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Stanislav Laitamo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
