Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tito Henry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chute Box Theme. On his way into the cage it seems that Carlos Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carlos Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Edgar Plum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edson Mendes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Plum kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oficina G3 - Depois da Guerra. Mendes has chosen Hard Hittaz by Three 6 Mafia as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Edgar Plum has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
