Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chad Strdoza (ranked 1721 p4p, 3080 weight class) and Dai Zexi (ranked 43 p4p, 77 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Zexi's choice of entrance music: BRADIO-Flyers. On his way into the cage it seems that Chad Strdoza has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chad Strdoza seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Smith (ranked 457 p4p, 428 weight class) and Cajun Puto (ranked 9 p4p, 8 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by IS THIS LOVE. 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?
