Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jan Janssen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jae Darko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Janssen comes into the arena with Orgineel Amsterdam blaring out of the sound system. Darko has chosen Gasolina as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jan Janssen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jan Janssen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Barbedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Marrone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barbedo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can Your Pussy Do The Dog. 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 Jason Marrone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
