Cage 38 took place just last Saturday, but the Finnish promotion has wasted no time in announcing much of the Cage 39 line-up set for April 29th in Helsinki.  The main featured fighter will be Janne Elonen-Kulmala (15-4) who will be seeking his 12th straight win.  Jamba, the #1 ranked Nordic bantamweight, won a close split decision in his last outing at Cage 36 last September.

Joni Salovaara (16-9-0-2) will look to rebound from his Cage 37 loss versus Swede Niklas Backstrom.  The Finnish veteran is ranked #3 Nordic featherweight, and was on a two fight winning streak prior to his last bout.
