Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Axper Jan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nalle Karhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Im axpers!. Karhu has chosen Yö - Parrasvalot as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Laz Icarus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liddell comes to the cage accompanied by Ice Cold. Icarus has chosen Flying dutchman as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Laz Icarus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
