Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Cole (ranked 1647 p4p, 861 weight class) and Nig Nig (ranked 214 p4p, 136 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cole might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Won't Back Down. On his way into the cage it seems that Michael Cole has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Michael Cole seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joosep Lõhmus (ranked 8 p4p, 135 weight class) and Damagon Enchãrya (ranked 3 p4p, 28 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lõhmus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings. The crowd seem to be enjoying Enchãrya's choice of entrance music: Blaxcaliber. 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?
