Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tsuyoshi Nakayama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harjan Varsi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nakayama comes to the ring accompanied by The Vapors - Turning Japanese. Varsi has chosen Hiski Salomaa - Tiskarin polkka as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Tsuyoshi Nakayama has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tsuyoshi Nakayama seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinya Imanari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Alice in Chains - Them Bones. The crowd seem to be enjoying Imanari's choice of entrance music: Era - Ameno. Shinya Imanari has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
