Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Luke Psycho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leo Mylleri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mylleri has chosen Om du har nåt att säga, säg det till mig! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Luke Psycho had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
