Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tan Zan (ranked 2047 p4p, 807 weight class) and The Cucumber (ranked 272 p4p, 122 weight class). Cucumber has chosen Scooter - Nessaja as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Tan Zan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tan Zan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rukter Demenok (ranked 149 p4p, 185 weight class) and Lorenzo Benedetti (ranked 18 p4p, 21 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Demenok might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Moby Dick Speech. Benedetti is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gloom, Doom, Heartache & Whiskey - Viking Skull. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mohammed Kahn (ranked 3 p4p, 18 weight class) and Joosep Lõhmus (ranked 1 p4p, 4 weight class). Kahn comes into the arena with Ùارت٠Ù
