Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tomi Juntunen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Juntunen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lumessakahlaajat. Michaels is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Gimme Shelter. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Ponting (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Ribera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ricky Ponting has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ricky Ponting seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
