Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Psiho Borec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robbie Ruger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Borec might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Carl orff - o fortuna. Robbie Ruger has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Psiho Borec's chin.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paul Potts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taavi Liisteri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liisteri has chosen Solid Base - I like it as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
