Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aarre Voutilainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teuvo Loman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Voutilainen comes to the cage accompanied by Chase Is Better Than The Catch. Loman has chosen Teuvo Loman - Helsinki City Boy as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Teuvo Loman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
