Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Daft Young (ranked 667 p4p, 84 weight class) and Teemu Karjalainen (ranked 1089 p4p, 139 weight class). Young comes to the cage accompanied by Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. The crowd seem to be enjoying Karjalainen's choice of entrance music: Poisonblack - Sun Shines Black. On his way into the cage it seems that Daft Young has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Daft Young seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between He Mu (ranked 654 p4p, 102 weight class) and Neil Gilas (ranked 663 p4p, 103 weight class). Gilas has chosen Remember The Name - Fort Minor as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that He Mu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily He Mu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
