Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Näkäräinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malvin Maldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Näkäräinen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Juice Leskinen - Vaasankin veri vapisee. Maldi has chosen Loituma TECHNO! 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.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:35 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Matt Dammon!
Matt Dammon decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
