Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alpo Suhonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Staton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suhonen's entrance music is Gers Pardoel - Ik Neem Je Mee . A fine choice. Staton is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Puff, The Magic Dragon. Suhonen has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Alpo Suhonen could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jeremy Staton's chin.
