Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andre Masques (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Scylla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Andre Masques has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Andre Masques seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nike Adonis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boot Head (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Adonis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Flight of the Valkyries. Head has chosen New Divide as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Nike Adonis had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
