Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Olej Saganov (ranked 24507 p4p, 5411 weight class) and Dagul Damulag (ranked 617 p4p, 565 weight class). Olej Saganov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. The key to victory for Olej Saganov has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zico Macedo (ranked 2905 p4p, 2457 weight class) and Charles Weasel (ranked 374 p4p, 325 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Macedo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hino Nacional do Brasil. On his way into the cage it seems that Zico Macedo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Zico Macedo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
