Slipknot---Psychosocial kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alessandro de Ferro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dolly Parton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think de Ferro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to CMX - Ruoste. Parton has chosen 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Alessandro de Ferro has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alessandro de Ferro seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
