Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Santeri Norzu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ari Gold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norzu comes to the cage accompanied by Anekdoten - Karelia. Gold has chosen Beats And Styles - Dynamite as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
