Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Graham Polliver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunter Kicurasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kicurasz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Stemm - Face the Pain. On his way into the cage it seems that Graham Polliver has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Graham Polliver seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Wuzz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fjodor Fedja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wuzz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lützenkirchen - German Kiss. Fedja is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK . Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
