Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joonas Kolstela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander III (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kolstela kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Here Comes The Boom. III has chosen IRON MAIDEN : Alexander the Great as his entrance music. Alexander III is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Boba Fett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyson Mitchell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mitchell has chosen This Fire Burns - Killswitch Engage as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Boba Fett has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Boba Fett seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
