Luckily Brian Mason seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ong Bak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anders Mindstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bak's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, you've lost that loving feeling. Mindstrom comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Clayman - In Flames kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
