Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin St Andre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maciej Zegan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Andre's entrance music is When the Saints Go Marching In. A fine choice. Zegan has chosen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4B99CQV3uY&feature=related as his entrance music. Benjamin St Andre is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Caleb Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foster comes to the cage accompanied by Lynyrd Skynrd - Sweet Home Alabama. Cruz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Your Neck. On his way into the cage it seems that Caleb Foster has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Caleb Foster seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
