Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Chainsaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Keyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jason Chainsaw had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cullen Castrello (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BJ Andrews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Castrello's entrance music is Styles P & Currensy - Jekell N Hyde. A fine choice. Andrews has chosen Inflikted as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Cullen Castrello has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cullen Castrello seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
