Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Levan Revazshvili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Hare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Revazshvili kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Georgia National Anthem. On his way into the cage it seems that Levan Revazshvili has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Levan Revazshvili seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kostas Karelis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ed Landry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karelis comes into the arena with Sail - AwolNation blaring out of the sound system. Landry has chosen Ride Wit Me - Nelly as his entrance music.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between The Hound (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brain Buro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Buro is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Brian Boro`s March. On his way into the cage it seems that The Hound has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily The Hound seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
