Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roger Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Assaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie comes into the arena with Dread Zepellin - Stairway to Heaven blaring out of the sound system. Assaf is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: click click boom. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lloyd Christmas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gegard Mousasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Christmas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mocking Bird. Mousasi has chosen ZERO ONNNNNEEEEEEEEE as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Lloyd Christmas has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lloyd Christmas seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
