Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Timo Yo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shael Connen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Connen has chosen Rock You Like a Hurricane as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Oppenheim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nyffe Pehmytkudos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oppenheim comes into the arena with Fur Kaiser, Gott Und Vaterland blaring out of the sound system. Pehmytkudos has chosen Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bruno Oppenheim has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bruno Oppenheim seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
