Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kostya Tszyu (ranked 1083 p4p, 1259 weight class) and Hokuto Akira (ranked 138 p4p, 160 weight class). Tszyu comes to the cage accompanied by Till the End of Time. On his way into the cage it seems that Kostya Tszyu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kostya Tszyu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

The crowd seem to be enjoying Tantor's choice of entrance music: Cyan Kicks - Wish You Well. 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?
