Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Grimm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richie McCaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCaw has chosen Seeing Things as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ben Grimm has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ben Grimm seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sellus Gravius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, LL CoolJ - Headsprung. Gravius comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Morrowind kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
