Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andy Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doc Holliday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's A Fight. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vangelis Kokkalis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ghengis Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kokkalis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Promises - Nero ft. Skrillex. Congo has chosen Ghostface - After the Smoke is Clear as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Vangelis Kokkalis has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vangelis Kokkalis seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
