Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Krum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Krum might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Explosive by Bond. The crowd seem to be enjoying Escobar's choice of entrance music: KoRn En Vivo Mtv. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrone Slade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bateman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Huey Lewis and The News - Hip To Be Square. On his way into the cage it seems that Patrick Bateman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Patrick Bateman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
