Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vladdy Stanislov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Goat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stanislov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Russian National Anthem. Goat has chosen Impaled Nazarene - Cult of the Goat as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Vladdy Stanislov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vladdy Stanislov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Justin Anthony (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Burke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burke has chosen Discoboys - I came for you as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
