Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stampe Eklund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Parvati Mellia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eklund kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Troll - Trollberg. Mellia has chosen KMA - Pommeja 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.
