Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faber's entrance music is California Love - Tupac. A fine choice. Penn has chosen Through Struggle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Eddie Faber has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eddie Faber seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Hugo Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roidger Palmeiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hugo Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Life in the Fast Lane. Palmeiro has chosen Bully as his entrance music. Alberto Hugo Jr looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
