Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Hay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mosi Amadi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Amadi has chosen DR Congo National Anthem as his entrance music.

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