Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Costanza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pertti Silsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Costanza comes to the cage accompanied by Do the Opposite. Silsa comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Candy by Robbie Williams kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Daniel Costanza has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Daniel Costanza seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hunks Jucci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rua has chosen AVANTASIA-Seven Angels 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?
