Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Balig Murska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunnar Gustavsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murska's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Perhosveitsi-Heikki & Lika-Aki - Aakkoset. Gustavsson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: KNOKE STØVKOST. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
