Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Stroker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pertti Rauta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stroker's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, TBR - Bigger Than Kiss. Rauta comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Frederik - Harva Meistä On Rautaa kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the ring it seems that Harry Stroker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Harry Stroker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
