Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Graves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chip Freedom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Graves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Want War by Pastor Troy. Freedom is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Star Spangled Banner. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Corbett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt McPherson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corbett's entrance music is ....

Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brett Ing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop comes to the cage accompanied by Drunkula - Lift The Whip. Ing has chosen Cali Swag District - Teach Me How To Dougie as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Billy Bishop has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Billy Bishop seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
