Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joosep Lõhmus (ranked 26 p4p, 71 weight class) and Song Turillo (ranked 6 p4p, 14 weight class). Lõhmus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings. 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?
