Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Song Turillo (ranked 8 p4p, 75 weight class) and Joosep Lõhmus (ranked 3 p4p, 14 weight class). Lõhmus has chosen Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings as his entrance music. 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.
