Ridasmaa is out of Team East Front and was last in action at Lappeenranta Fight Night 15 where he outpointed Kennet Mattsson. The welterweight has won his last 3 of 4 bouts, with his only loss in that stretch to the crafty veteran Sergej Grecicho.

Puhakka is no stranger to NFC, as he won a split decision on the NFC “Helsinki Fight Night” card last May, his only win in his last 6 attempts.
