Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Hug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andy Hug had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Horse Mania (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ex Perimental (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mania might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pink Floyd - Money. On his way into the cage it seems that Horse Mania has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Horse Mania seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
