Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Armen Aharonian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henkka Seppala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aharonian kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ara Gevorgyan - Artsakh. Seppala has chosen Fivefold - Fighting Madness as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peyton Rudger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rudger might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 2pac When We Ride On Our Enemies. On his way into the cage it seems that Peyton Rudger has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Peyton Rudger seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
