Finnfight or Scandinavian open NHB Championships (SNC) is an annual mixed martial arts competition in Turku, Finland. Contrary to most other mixed martial arts organizations and competitions, elbow strikes, knee strikes and headbutts from any position are legal.

The first Finnfight event, FINNFIGHT 1, was held in 1998 at Rantasipi Hotelli (currently called Caribia Hotel), Turku and it featured fighters from Finland and Sweden.

In the opening fight of the evening and at the same time in the very first fight of all the Finnfight events, a local fighter Jari Ilkka, representing the style of Shootfighting, fought against a Sin Moo Hapkido fighter from Pori.

Illka won the fight but was unable to continue the tournament due to an injured leg.

The fights take place in a ring or arena, which has a padded floor to increase the safety of the fighters. The bouts are 10 minutes long, with no round breaks. During the length of the bout, there is a referee in the competition area, who oversees the rules. The referee has the right to stop the bout if necessary. The referee's decision is final. Protests lead to the disqualification of the fighter.

Johan Fransson (born February 18, 1985) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman, playing with Luleå HF of Elitserien.

Fransson was born in Kalix, Sweden, where he in his youth played bandy, winning the Swedish Championship for 13-year old's in 1998. Fransson attributes his good skating ability to having played bandy. In 2000–01 he represented Norrbotten in TV-pucken, and as a 15-year old played senior hockey for Kalix HF in Division 1 (Sweden's third tier).

For the 2001–02 season Fransson signed with Luleå HF to play junior hockey. He made his Elitserien debut for Luleå in 2002–03, but only played three games due to a groin injury which ruined most of the season for him. In 2003–04 Fransson became a regular on Luleå's roster, he had a successful season and was nominated as the Rookie of the Year in Elitserien. In his first playoff game at senior level Fransson suffered a concussion after being checked by Färjestads BK's Peter Nordström during the first game of the quarterfinal series. Fransson returned to play one more game in the series, as Luleå were eliminated in his comeback. After the season Fransson was predicted to have bright future ahead of him, and he continued playing well but not up to the highly set expectations during the 2004–05 season, and the following season Fransson's progress came to a halt as he struggled majorly during the course of the season. Luleå chose not to resigning him and Fransson decided to follow his Luleå teammate Karl Fabricius and sign with Frölunda HC, where he hoped to get his career back on track.
