Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Hale (ranked 1328 p4p, 207 weight class) and Martin Kampmann (ranked 1479 p4p, 231 weight class). Hale kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dead Sara - Weatherman. Kampmann has chosen The Wild Boys as his entrance music. Brandon Hale has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Serder Serderov (ranked 1111 p4p, 141 weight class) and Feargus Urquhart (ranked 1335 p4p, 164 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Serderov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to One step closer- Linkin Park. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kenta Kobashi (ranked 318 p4p, 50 weight class) and Alex Asztalos (ranked 433 p4p, 63 weight class). Asztalos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dethroned Emperor by Celtic Frost. On his way into the cage it seems that Kenta Kobashi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kenta Kobashi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
