Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damar Sulekov (ranked 1103 p4p, 1859 weight class) and Alistair Ubereem (ranked 76 p4p, 127 weight class). 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 Alistair Ubereem was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Metbal Skabetti (ranked 788 p4p, 710 weight class) and Shape Shifter (ranked 102 p4p, 93 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Metbal Skabetti has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Metbal Skabetti seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Zhdanov (ranked 450 p4p, 348 weight class) and Biscuit Oliva (ranked 35 p4p, 28 weight class). Zhdanov comes to the cage accompanied by Малиновая Лада (Raspberry Lada) by Gayazov$ Brother$. Oliva has chosen Vo Williams - Primal (ft. Vyceroy) as his entrance music. 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?
