Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Larry Riley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kustaa Pohjanala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pohjanala comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Scooter - Fire kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Larry Riley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.
