Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Caccane Berzevaco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Segundo Alejandro Prato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Berzevaco might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hanna Ekola - Villihevosia. On his way into the cage it seems that Caccane Berzevaco has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Caccane Berzevaco seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kesuke Miyagi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Judo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miyagi comes to the cage accompanied by Your'e The Best Around. The crowd seem to be enjoying Judo's choice of entrance music: Da Mystery of Chessboxin by Wu-Tang Clan. 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.
