Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Papa Legba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vick Rub (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Legba kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Cruising in Miami" by Bass 305. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Stefan Pozsgai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dude Viljakainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pozsgai comes into the arena with PC Park - Klatka blaring out of the sound system. Viljakainen has chosen I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Stefan Pozsgai has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Stefan Pozsgai seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pyyno Janis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Paul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Janis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rubber Johnny. Paul is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lamb of God-Omerta. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
