Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Vovchanchyn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kermit The Frog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vovchanchyn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lights Out by Morbid Angel. The Frog has chosen Sesame Street theme song by random kids as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kermit The Frog has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roddy Piper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arvo Satsuma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Roddy Piper has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Roddy Piper seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
