Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Suka Blitzkilf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blitzkilf comes to the cage accompanied by Muslamic Rape gangs. Suka Blitzkilf had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leonidas Katsaros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katsaros kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 卍 卍 卍. Mercer has chosen Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young as his entrance music. 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?
