Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Julio Cesar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Giordano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cesar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Saliva - Superstar. Giordano has chosen Godfather Theme (hip hop remix) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Floor Jan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Flynn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kenny Floor Jan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
