Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and luis The Brazilian Thunder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez's entrance music is Apeman. A fine choice. The Brazilian Thunder has chosen Breakin the Law as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Alberto Lopez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alberto Lopez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesse James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Foe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jesse James had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Joe Foe has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
