Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Herer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bryant Helix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Helix has chosen Whitechapel - Of Legions as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Herer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Herer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kid Buu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drunkula - Lift The Whip. 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.
