Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xafan Kong (ranked 557 p4p, 85 weight class) and Yun Won Hyang (ranked 579 p4p, 91 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Nao (ranked 689 p4p, 26 weight class) and Mikko Alatalo (ranked 2365 p4p, 94 weight class). Nao kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The End. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Bishop (ranked 546 p4p, 60 weight class) and Mahalo Bittencourt (ranked 1190 p4p, 123 weight class). Bishop's entrance music is Ghetts - Artillery. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Jackson Bishop has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jackson Bishop seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
