Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wilhelm Strauss (ranked 793 p4p, 890 weight class) and Chad Smith (ranked 118 p4p, 128 weight class). Strauss's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Root Of All Evil. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Chad Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Panda Aorigele (ranked 413 p4p, 332 weight class) and Pupuki Namasuzuki (ranked 58 p4p, 53 weight class). Aorigele's entrance music is Mama Said Knock You Out. A fine choice. Namasuzuki is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Stand By Me- Ben King. On his way into the cage it seems that Panda Aorigele has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Panda Aorigele seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
