Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Shave Face (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bada Bing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Face might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome to the TerrorDome. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bing's choice of entrance music: Metallica - All Nightmare Long. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Heydar Aliyev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ren Katsurou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aliyev's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 'Let's Get It On' by Marvin Gaye. Katsurou has chosen Coheed and Cambria - Devil in Jersey City as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Heydar Aliyev has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Heydar Aliyev seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rmarkas Fletcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikola Tesla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fletcher comes into the arena with Keep on Lovin Me Baby by Colin James blaring out of the sound system. Tesla has chosen AC/DC's Thunderstruck as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Rmarkas Fletcher has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rmarkas Fletcher seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
