Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Balthazar Bolleke (ranked 587 p4p, 1705 weight class) and Aljosa Medeiros (ranked 89 p4p, 235 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Balthazar Bolleke has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Balthazar Bolleke seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Barkeep Quark (ranked 946 p4p, 1132 weight class) and Bimbo Slaissi (ranked 126 p4p, 150 weight class). Quark kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Megadeth - Train of Consequences. 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?
