Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Bear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taiwei Neo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bear might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bad Meets Evil - Fast Lane ft. Eminem, Royce Da 5'9 . On his way into the cage it seems that Bjorn Bear has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bjorn Bear seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Weaver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Uli Kunkel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Weaver might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Explosivo. Kunkel has chosen Bubbles - Bidibodi Bidibu 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.
