Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abdullah Virtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gaisafa Masoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Virtanen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Soomaaliyeey toosoo. Masoe has chosen Bang On by Boo Yaa Tribe as his entrance music. 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.
