Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Corrida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Shanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boba Fett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moses Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diggs is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by GREEN LIGHT. On his way into the cage it seems that Boba Fett has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Boba Fett seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
