Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikko Hantunen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Tammipuomi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hantunen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad Religion - American Jesus. Tammipuomi has chosen Marco Marfè Parodia, Marco è Dens! Pubblicità Divertente Napoletano... as his entrance music. Marco Tammipuomi told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
