Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nikolay Capriotti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rubin Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Capriotti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Immigrant Song - Karen O (feat. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross). Carter is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hurricane. 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 Rubin Carter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frederick Barbarossa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Burza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burza has chosen Metallica - Enter Sandman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Frederick Barbarossa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frederick Barbarossa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
