A fine choice. Lange has chosen ACDC-You Shook Me(All Night Long) as his entrance music. Artie Lange struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antero Rokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trouble Some (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rokka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Antero's Walkout. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jorge Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davor Langerholc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santiago kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Baauer - Harlem Shake. Langerholc comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hypocrisy - Reincarnation kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
