The upcoming Fight Night 12 card has had a bit of a shakeup with Teemu Matilainen and Ville Vanhanen injuries. With Matilainen out, the slot against Finn Patrik Pietilä (2-2) will now be taken by Swede Botan Tokay (4-1). “He has fought his first pro match before I even started training MMA. This one is going to be big win for me!” says Pietilä to mmaViking.com about his Team East Front / GBG MMA opponent.

Patrik Pietilä Fighting at Cage 24

The Lappeenranta, Finland event will take place on April 25th at the Kisapuiston Jäähalli. Aleksi Mäntykivi will also now face Russian Vladimir Fedin with the Vanhanen injury.

“I think Botan Tokay is really skilled and tough guy. He is 4-1 and only loss he has is by DQ.” says the Primus fighter Pietilä who is now has a two fight winning streak.

“I see that my hand is raised end of the fight of course! Last time my cardio didnt end and i felt that i could done more. So now im gonna put in big pressure from start and try to finnish him fast. If he manages to get past first round, he will gas out before me! So its going to be war in there!”

Tokay hasn’t been in the cage since June of 2013. He has won four of his five pro bout, with his only blemish a DQ back in 2012 when he upkicked a grounded opponent at Vision FC 5.

Pietilä won by a majority decision a few weeks back over Arman Popal at FNF’s Karkkila Fight Night.
