Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Armas Paakku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kam Korder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Armas Paakku has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Armas Paakku seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ting Yan Wang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paavali Pietari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wang comes to the cage accompanied by Minority - Green Day. Pietari is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up. 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.
