Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kalle Monsterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taisto Tappura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tappura has chosen Ring of fire as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kalle Monsterson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kalle Monsterson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Urvin Janzen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holmes comes into the arena with Everybody Knows My Name blaring out of the sound system. Janzen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by El Guapo Likes to Dance. On his way into the cage it seems that Mike Holmes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mike Holmes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Congo Ashantie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ashantie's entrance music is Congo Ashanti. A fine choice. Emelianenko has chosen Enea Vollare Mezzo as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Fedor Emelianenko was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
