Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keijo Kerjalainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cero comes to the cage accompanied by Hate Me Now - Nas. Kerjalainen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by krolithika. On his way into the cage it seems that Numero Cero has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Numero Cero seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sten Biller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jakke Ruutu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biller's entrance music is Lützenkirchen- Nutcracker. A fine choice. Ruutu has chosen 50 Cent - I'm Supposed to Die Tonight 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?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Slopey Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armand Agasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jawga Boyz - Rollin Like A Redneck. 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.
