The upcoming Cage 32 on October 23rd has added another Nordic battle as they put on veteran Finn Juha-Pekka Vainikainen (22-10-1) versus Sweden based Domingos Mestre (11-7).  JP will be moving up to welterweight for this bout, which will be his return to the Cage promotion after his last bout at Cage 28 back in November.

At 32 years old, Vainikainen has been fighting professional MMA for over 10 years, making his debut back in 2005.  The veteran of 33 professional fights is looking forward to seeing what he can do in the new weight class, after seeing the impact of cutting down to lightweight for his previous bouts.

Mestre is from Portugal, but now represents GBG MMA in Sweden now.  He is no stranger to Finland or Cage, as he was submitted by Kai Puolakka back at Cage 23 in September 2013.  He is on a two fight losing streak, and last fought at No Compromises FC back in 2014 by armbar.
