Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Holden Coulfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pete Sproles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Coulfield might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Napalm Death - Twist the Knife (Slowly). Sproles is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by can't be touched -Roy Jones Jr. Holden Coulfield has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derek Ludo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Chong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Chong's choice of entrance music: Get Down On The Ground. On his way into the ring it seems that Derek Ludo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Derek Ludo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
