Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Errol Field (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Drewnski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Field kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jiu jitsu Gunslingers. Drewnski has chosen MOSKAU-RAMMSTEIN as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ivan Drewnski is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeriba Sinclair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juha Mieto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mieto has chosen Pikku G - Älä ole vihainen as his entrance music. Mieto has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Jeriba Sinclair has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jeriba Sinclair seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
