Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mega Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Head (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fredriksson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DMX - Megatron Gon' Give It To Ya. Head has chosen The Gates of Love as his entrance music. 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.

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikko Kytta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicolai Romanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kytta comes into the arena with The Odorants - This Night blaring out of the sound system. Romanov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Party. On his way into the cage it seems that Mikko Kytta has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mikko Kytta seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quinton Lind (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Lindros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lind comes to the cage accompanied by Ice Cube & Dr Dre - Natural Born Killaz. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Eric Lindros was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Urho Itaniemi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Adebisi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Itaniemi comes to the cage accompanied by Volbeat - Still Counting. Adebisi has chosen Go Go Adebisi as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Urho Itaniemi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Urho Itaniemi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
