Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Clinton Chaos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Le Blanc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chaos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos. Le Blanc comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Know It's Over - By The Smiths kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sione Finau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pikku Veli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finau's entrance music is Ninja Gaiden. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Veli's choice of entrance music: Your Sweet Six Six Six. On his way into the cage it seems that Sione Finau has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sione Finau seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
