Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stasius Venom (ranked 1017 p4p, 142 weight class) and Milo Brunswick (ranked 745 p4p, 101 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Stasius Venom has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Stasius Venom seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Panikov (ranked 284 p4p, 39 weight class) and Tobias Marshall (ranked 288 p4p, 40 weight class). Panikov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fighters. 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.
