Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Silvio Crespo (ranked 742 p4p, 84 weight class) and Pascal Letaivu (ranked 643 p4p, 74 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Silvio Crespo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Silvio Crespo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin BK (ranked 104 p4p, 19 weight class) and Johnny Justice (ranked 257 p4p, 34 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Justice's choice of entrance music: Montana of 300 - Daddy Used to be the Plug. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
