Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Juunas Sikio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Eisenhardt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Eisenhardt's choice of entrance music: Magneto's Theme. On his way into the cage it seems that Juunas Sikio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Juunas Sikio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kira Miyata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vesa Sykk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miyata might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to NANO - no pain, no game. Sykk comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name 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.
