Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Gronholm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wrestling Spar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gronholm's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eeppinen biisi. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
