Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luciano Bizarria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexy Innokenti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bizarria might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Arnaldo Antunes - Alta Noite. Innokenti is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Russian National Anthem. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Cotto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Archie Moore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Miguel Cotto has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Miguel Cotto seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
