Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Klark Tsemppu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wanderlei Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Concrete Schoolyard. On his way into the cage it seems that Klark Tsemppu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Klark Tsemppu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Osmond Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Coco Trippaaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black comes to the cage accompanied by CMX, Nahkaparturi. Osmond Black had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Osmond Black has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
