Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dean Malenko (ranked 1162 p4p, 121 weight class) and Angel Childress (ranked 1455 p4p, 147 weight class). Malenko's entrance music is WCW NITRO ENTRANCE SONG. A fine choice. Childress is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Eighth of sticky gooey-by MAC MAL. On his way into the cage it seems that Dean Malenko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dean Malenko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Comeau (ranked 223 p4p, 36 weight class) and Mister McNasty (ranked 346 p4p, 50 weight class). Comeau's entrance music is One of These Days. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
