Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mon Ster (ranked 667 p4p, 78 weight class) and Oulu Laine (ranked 777 p4p, 93 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ster might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Automatic - Monster. Laine has chosen Peti - Oulu Shangri-la as his entrance music. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Jallu Pesonen (ranked 441 p4p, 55 weight class) and Cobweb Cooter (ranked 443 p4p, 56 weight class). Pesonen comes into the arena with DJ Orkidea - Joutsenlaulu blaring out of the sound system. Cooter has chosen Porch Honky as his entrance music. 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 Matteo Boretti (ranked 231 p4p, 36 weight class) and Archibald Knox (ranked 361 p4p, 44 weight class). Boretti kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Link Gaetz (ranked 60 p4p, 8 weight class) and Rocket Bob Frankels (ranked 197 p4p, 28 weight class). Frankels is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dawn....Summer Solstice... . On his way into the cage it seems that Link Gaetz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Link Gaetz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
