Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tomasz Kolaczkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choco Late (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kolaczkowski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - Almost Famous. Late has chosen I come from money as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Choco Late was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Biggums (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Milan Lucic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biggums kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ThunderStruck. On his way into the cage it seems that Tyrone Biggums has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tyrone Biggums seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
