Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Four Middle Fingers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauri Kunnas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fingers's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cut Stoppage- This one will get finished. Kunnas is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Jumal x10 Lavis - Jeesus. 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.
