Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Manny Baddabing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harjan Varsi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Varsi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hiski Salomaa - Tiskarin polkka. 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.
