Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henry Saari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brett Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saari comes to the cage accompanied by Beck - Loser. Rogers has chosen Rohff feat Big Ali - Dirty Houss as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Brett Rogers struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Henry Saari has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Henry Saari seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mahmoud Denjat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Cyborg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Denjat's entrance music is U.S.A. National Anthem. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Cyborg's choice of entrance music: Awaken . These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
