Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Artie Lange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiraphon Jr Phuttharaksa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lange kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ACDC-You Shook Me(All Night Long). Phuttharaksa has chosen TP outro as his entrance music. Artie Lange had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be fireworks!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Antero Wursty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henrik Torhammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wursty comes to the cage accompanied by Megadeth - The Skull Beneath The Skin. Torhammer is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Doom Unit - Killing Time. 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.
