Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Abel Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waltari Suokuokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Speed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Limp Bizkit / Break Stuff. Suokuokka is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Paul Engemann - Scarface (Push It to the Limit). Abel Speed has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
