Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tatchakorn Yeerum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorma Uzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ben Dingdown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dingdown comes into the arena with Baggy Trousers blaring out of the sound system. Green has chosen yes as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ben Dingdown has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ben Dingdown seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
