Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Tayaen Porfirigo was cancelled. |

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Hilly (ranked 635 p4p, 1576 weight class) and Akimbo Spice (ranked 92 p4p, 212 weight class). Hilly comes to the cage accompanied by Gary Moore - Whiskey in the Jar (Tribute to Phil Lynott) [HQ] [9/10]. On his way into the cage it seems that Bill Hilly has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bill Hilly seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
