Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jose Cronos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Friedrich Bergfried (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cronos comes to the cage accompanied by Sandstorm. On his way into the cage it seems that Jose Cronos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jose Cronos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Trent Cotchin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Mannelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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.
