Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tamati Ngata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuri Maulovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ngata kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Maori Haka. On his way into the cage it seems that Tamati Ngata has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tamati Ngata seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between John Granger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocco Falcone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Granger might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jiu-Jitsu . 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?
