Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nem Sis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maurice McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tsunami. On his way into the cage it seems that Nem Sis has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nem Sis seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Uebishe Lesnoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trang Troc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lesnoe comes to the cage accompanied by It's On!. Troc has chosen Dr. Octagon - Real Raw as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Uebishe Lesnoe has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Uebishe Lesnoe seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
