Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Condor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lot Kapuaiwa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Condor comes into the arena with Sepultura - Ratamahatta blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Pablo Condor has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pablo Condor seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodney Mack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mello Shain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shain comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Stand Alone kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Mello Shain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
