Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Leroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcelo Ribeiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ribeiro has chosen Flux Pavilion – I Can't Stop as his entrance music. Bruce Leroy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Bernard Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton. Love has chosen You ready as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bernard Benton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bernard Benton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
