Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mark Kulich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Piletich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kulich comes into the arena with Meat Plow blaring out of the sound system. Piletich has chosen Manowar-King of Kings as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mark Kulich has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mark Kulich seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Hugo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlo Fertit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hugo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Yvan & Dan Daniel - Enjoy The Silence. Fertit has chosen SABOTAGE as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
