Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dynamite Nixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Denke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nixon's entrance music is Fear is Our Tradition by Ignite. A fine choice. Denke has chosen Runnin With The Devil as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

On his way into the cage it seems that Greco Roman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Greco Roman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
