Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ray Fayth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sinbad Baba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baba comes into a darkened arena with his song building. King of Seven Seas kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Ray Fayth has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ray Fayth seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Victor Zsasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mateus Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zsasz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 2Pac: When We Ride ft. Outlawz. Gracie has chosen Broke & Hungry as his entrance music. 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.
