Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Butane (ranked 1154 p4p, 150 weight class) and Alexi Laiho (ranked 1405 p4p, 186 weight class).

Laiho comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Cold Sweat/ Thin Lizzy kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman!

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arjan Bhullar (ranked 120 p4p, 18 weight class) and Richard Kuklinsky (ranked 113 p4p, 15 weight class). Bhullar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lords of the Underground - Chief Rocka. 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.
