Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sher Shah Suri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lik Alotadik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alotadik has chosen When Death comes Knocking - Primal Fear as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Sher Shah Suri has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sher Shah Suri seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marcos Duarte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Denke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duarte comes to the cage accompanied by Go 2 Sleep by Ludacris. The crowd seem to be enjoying Denke's choice of entrance music: Runnin With The Devil. 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.
